I've downloaded Jetty. It runs fine, java -jar start.jar, and you
can immediately see all the demonstration servlets. Good I think.
So, how do I add my own Servlet class to the engine,
You don't add classes, you add WARs. Servlets are meaningless outside=
a WAR.
To put it another way, you need to write a little shell script which =
packs your classes into a trivial WAR - it wouldn't be hard.
Can't I just put my bl**dy servlets in a directory and run them?
No.
Yes.
Can't say much about Tomcat since I don't use it, but with Jetty you
can deploy webapps to a directory as easily as deploying a WAR. The
directory just has to have the right structure (meaning, it must have =
the WEB-INF directory and the proper files inside WEB-INF)...
And a web.xml referring to the servlets etc..
AFAIK recent servlet standards allow for web.xml less deployment if you
provide proper annotations. There may even be defaults so you could get =
away without XML and annos.
