Jetty Maven Plugin

With the Jetty Maven Plugin, you can test web apps without installing a server.

Create a webapp archetype.

mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=maven-archetype-webapp

1: remote -> com.haoxuer.maven.archetype:maven-archetype-webapp (a simple maven archetype)
2: remote -> com.lodsve:lodsve-maven-archetype-webapp (Lodsve Maven Archetype Webapp)
3: remote -> org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp (An archetype which contains a sample Maven Webapp project.)
4: remote -> org.bytesizebook.com.guide.boot:maven-archetype-webapp
(An archetype to create the starting code for the first three chapters of Guide to Web Development with Java, 2nd edition.)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): : 3

Create an initParamServlet.java in the example directory.

cd initParam
mkdir -p src/main/java/example

initParam
  └── src
       └── main
            └── java
                 └── example
                       └── InitParamServlet.java

package example;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import jakarta.servlet.ServletConfig;
import jakarta.servlet.ServletException;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class InitParamServlet extends HttpServlet {
  private String url;
  private String user;
  private String passwd;
  private String driver;

  @Override
  public void init() throws ServletException {
    url = this.getInitParameter("url");
    user = this.getInitParameter("user");
    passwd = this.getInitParameter("passwd");
    driver = this.getInitParameter("driver");
  }

  @Override
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) 
      throws IOException, ServletException {

    resp.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
    PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();

    out.println("url: " + url + "<br />");
    out.println("user: " + user + "<br />
    out.println("passwd: " + passwd + "<br />
    out.println("driver: " + driver);

  }
}
