Class WebServer

java.lang.Object

org.gwizard.web.WebServer

@Singleton
public class WebServer
extends Object

Simple Jetty-based embedded web server which configures itself from a bound WebConfig and serves the GuiceFilter so you can manage web content with Guice ServletModules. Also clever enough to add any EventListener objects found in the injector bindings.

Method Details

start

public void start()
           throws Exception

Start the web server. Does not block.

Throws:

Exception

AbstractLifeCycle.start()

createRootServletContextHandler

protected org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler createRootServletContextHandler()

Overrideable method to create the root ServletContextHandler. This can be used so that the Server can have a ServletContextHandler that will be able to handle Sessions for example. By default we create a bare-bones ServletContextHandler that is not set up to handle Sessions.

createServer

protected org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server createServer(WebConfig webConfig)

Overrideable method to create the initial jetty Server. We need to draw a lot more configuration parameters into WebConfig, but for now this gives users a hook to satisfy their needs. Bind a subclass to WebConfig, subclass this WebServer, and change behavior to whatever you want.

stop

public void stop()
          throws Exception

signal the web server to stop

Throws:

Exception
