So, let me make sure I understand your current setup... You have both Tomcat and Jetty running locally... Shindig is running in Tomcat.. You gadget spec is sitting on the Jetty server..
This should work. Are they on separate ports? Are you specifying the correct port for the spec (Jetty server port) when you try to retrieve it?

Only if i try to display a gadget which has a very simple XML spec: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="Hello World!"> <Require feature="opensocial-0.8" /> </ModulePrefs> <Content type="html"><![CDATA[Hello, world!]]></Content> </Module> and this xml file resides in my own simple Jetty server, then when i run the Shindig page, it does not show Hello world, but instead 'Unable to retrieve spec for http://localhost:8080/tmt/gadget. HTTP error 401'. My aim is to dynamically change the content of the gadget from my jetty server and make it available to many sites as an opensocial gadget. Is that at all possible?
