What is the embedded server used in Apache Jackrabbit-standalone?

Question

I believe in jackrabbit-standalone jar, there should be an application server embedded in order to serve web content.

I was trying to find what is the exact embedded server used in jackrabbit-standalone.jar. Based on the documentation on jackrabbit-standalone it does not mention any thing about it.

https://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/standalone-server.html

Do any one know about which embedded server it uses?

Answer 1

It makes use of eclipse jetty.

You can validate it by digging on project's source code and especially jackrabbit-standalone module.

Snippet from pom.xml of aforesaid module:

  ...
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
      <instructions>
        <Export-Package>
          org.apache.jackrabbit.standalone
        </Export-Package>
        <Embed-Dependency>
          *;inline=*.txt|*.html|*.jsp|*.xml|*.jar|*.properties|remoting/**|bootstrap/**|javax/**|repackage/**|images/**|com/**|ch/**|jline/**|Resources/**|css/**|schema*/**|EDU/**|error/**|org/**|META-INF/*.tld|META-INF/maven/**|META-INF/services/**|WEB-INF/config.xml|WEB-INF/*.properties|WEB-INF/templates/**

        <Main-Class>org.apache.jackrabbit.standalone.Main</Main-Class> <- This is the main class of the jar

    </configuration>
