Hello guys,
I would like to start the work on integrating jetty in ADS
(DIRSERVER-1262).
As Emmanuel mentioned in the comments, the main purpose is
"it's about adding Jetty into ADS to accept Http request without having
to depend on another web server.
This is quite interesting if you want to expose some administrative
information using some kind of web app,
or even better, implement a DSML gateway inside the server."
IMO it is better to keep this feature as detachable as possible from the
ADS.(jetty will be started only if the
required dependencies are present during startup and required config is
set)
Another question, is jetty the only option to embed? as Emmanuel pointed
out on IRC, can we use tomcat or asyncweb
instead (or support all three!)
Will there be a usecase where a user embedding ADS also requires to embed
jetty?
thoughts?
P.S :- will post initial configuration thoughts in another mail
