Typically : JETTY_HOME=%%PREFIX%%/share/java/jetty export JETTY_HOME - Make sure your CLASSPATH includes all the jar files in the $JETTY_HOME/lib directory : CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JETTY_HOME/lib/javax.servlet.jar CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JETTY_HOME/lib/com.mortbay.Jetty.jar CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JETTY_HOME/lib/gnujsp.jar export CLASSPATH The jsse.jar, jnet.jar and jcert.jar are only required if you intend to run or compile the SSL classes. - Running the Demo : The demonstration server has relative paths configured, so it must be run from the $JETTY_HOME directory. Users should consider using absolute file path names in their configurations if they wish to run Jetty from any directory. The demo server can be run with the following commands: cd $JETTY_HOME javavm com.mortbay.Jetty.Demo Use a browser to access the Jetty demo site at: http://hostname:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 (if the browser is running on the same machine)
