boot-jetty

a simple webserver for boot

[tailrecursion/boot-jetty "0.1.3"] ;; latest release

overview

this task creates and serves an internal distribution from the fileset's output directories (resources and assets). the distribution mirrors the contents of the environment's target directory, but is served from jetty's classpath as an exploded war file.

without additional configuration, this task functions as a static webserver useful for client-side development. to host a service, simply compose it with boot's web task, which adds the clojure-adapter-servlet shim and a web.xml file to the distribution.
