Found a solution to using the JettyServerHelper. Here is some code in case
others have similar question:
Component component = new Component(); Server jettyServer = new
Server(Protocol.HTTP, 8080);
HttpServerHelper jettyServerHelper = new HttpServerHelper(jettyServer);
component.getServers().add(jettyServer);
jettyServer.getContext().getParameters().add(maxThreads, 300);
jettyServer.getContext().getParameters().add(acceptQueueSize,50);
component.getDefaultHost().attach(/, new RootApp());
component.start();
