Jetty v11.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-12-07 // over 2 years ago

  • Eclipse Jetty 11.x Highlights

    • Jetty 11.x has a minimum Java requirement of Java 11.
    • Jetty 11.x modules are proper JPMS modules with module-info.class.
    • 👍 Jetty 11.x supports the following technology specs (from the Jakarta EE 9 effort):
      • jakarta.servlet - 5.0.0
      • jakarta.servlet.jsp - 3.0.0
      • jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl - 2.0.0
      • jakarta.el - 4.0.0
      • jakarta.websocket - 2.0.0
    • 👍 Jetty 11.x is the first major version of Jetty to support the jakarta.servlet namespace.

    Important Changes

    • 🌲 Classic jetty logging facade has been replaced with slf4j-api usage
    • There is no longer a jetty-distribution, use jetty-home with a proper ${jetty.base} instead.
      📚 See: Operations Guide: Architecture
      • New demo jetty-start module exists to replace the old demo-base functionality.
    • ✂ Remove jetty-all uber artifact
    • 🔧 Managing Configuration within a WebAppContext has a new API.
      (They are now self ordering and do not require knowledge of Jetty internals to use successfully)
    • 🔨 Complete WebSocket refactoring, those using the Jetty APIs or embedded-jetty will need to update their code.
      • Support for WebSocket over HTTP/2 (client and server)
    • Jetty HttpClient has been improved.
