MULE JETTY TRANSPORT

By – Ankush Sharma

WHAT IS JETTY?Jetty is a Java HTTP (Web) server and Java Servlet container. While Web Servers are usually associated with serving documents to people, Jetty is now often used for machine to machine communications, usually within larger software frameworks.

MULE JETTY TRANSPORT The Jetty transport provides support for exposing applications over HTTP by

embedding a light-weight Jetty server. The Jetty SSL Transport works the same way but over SSL. You can only define inbound endpoints with this transport.

The connector allows Mule to expose Mule Services over HTTP using a Jetty HTTP server. A single Jetty server is created for each connector instance. One connector can serve many endpoints. Users should rarely need to have more than one Jetty connector. The Jetty connector can be configured using a Jetty XML config file, but the default configuration is sufficient for most scenarios.
