Each specific type of connector and handler will have it's own setters and getters for configuration.

• Directly calling the API in a java program - see Embedding Jetty
• Calling the API via Jetty XML - see What is jetty.xml, What is jetty-web.xml, What is jetty-env.xml
• Calling the bean-style API via a framework such as swing spring or xbeans - see XBean with Jetty

Jetty XML

All container setup, such as ports to listen on, webapps to deploy, thread pools, security etc is done in a jetty configuration file in xml format. An example of such a file is provided in the distribution as etc/jetty.xml. For more information on this file, see jetty.xml

Additional configuration can be performed on a per webapp basis in a file called jetty-web.xml file placed inside the WEB-INF directory of the webapp. See also jetty-web.xml
