Cleaning up Jetty - Removing 'unnecessaries' things

Question

I\'m used to use Jetty as my web container.

What I did on my install steps is get the original tar ball and cleanup some directories and files<

Answer 1

Here's one way of cleaning up Jetty (9.1.5).

tar -xzvf jetty-distribution-9.1.5.v20140505.tar.gz
# can rename 'jetty-distribution-9.1.5.v20140505' to 'jetty-9.1.5' or similar
cd jetty-distribution-9.1.5.v20140505
rm -rf VERSION.txt license-eplv10-aslv20.html notice.html start.d/jsp.ini resources/log4j.properties demo-base/
find -name README.TXT | xargs rm -fv

mv etc etc.bak              # keep a backup of etc/ and modules/, take whats necessary
mv modules modules.bak
mkdir etc modules work
mv modules.bak/.donotdelete modules.bak/deploy.mod modules.bak/ext.mod modules.bak/http.mod \
    modules.bak/logging.mod modules.bak/resources.mod modules.bak/security.mod modules.bak/server.mod modules.bak/servlet* \
    modules.bak/webapp.mod modules/
mv $(grep -h --color=none "etc.*.xml" modules/* | sed 's/etc/etc\.bak/g') etc/
mv etc.bak/jetty-started.xml etc.bak/jetty.conf etc/        # required for bin/jetty.sh
mv etc.bak/webdefault.xml etc/                              # required for web applications
                                                            # provides default deployment descriptor config for all apps
# rm -rf modules.bak/ etc.bak/                              # remove if not needed

sed -i '/^#/d; /^\s*$/d' start.ini start.d/http.ini         # clean if needed

vi start.ini start.d/http.ini                               # check and modify if needed
    start.ini: 'jetty.send.server.version=false', remove '--module=websocket'
    http.ini: 'jetty.port=9999'
vi modules/                                   # check and modify if needed
vi etc/jetty.xml # to prevent Jetty from showing context related information
    remove
        
            
        
vi etc/jetty-logging.xml # suffix date with '-', instead of prefixing with '_'
    change
        /yyyy_mm_dd.stderrout.log
        ...
        
    to
        /stderrout.log.yyyy_mm_dd
        ...
        yyyy-MM-dd
        HHmmssSSS
        
vi etc/webdefault.xml # disable jsp support and modify other default settings
    remove or comment out  and  of JSP Servlet
    remove or comment out index.jsp from 
    set dirAllowed to false in default servlet
vi bin/jetty.sh # use $JETTY_BASE/logs instead of $JETTY_BASE as working directory
    change
        JETTY_RUN=$(findDirectory -w /var/run /usr/var/run $JETTY_BASE /tmp)
        JETTY_STATE=$JETTY_BASE/${NAME}.state
    to
        JETTY_RUN=$(findDirectory -w /var/run /usr/var/run $JETTY_BASE/logs $JETTY_BASE /tmp)
        JETTY_STATE=$JETTY_RUN/${NAME}.state
vi bin/jetty.sh # use $JETTY_HOME/work as default TMPDIR
    move following 
        TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}
    below 'JETTY_HOME=$PWD' and change
        TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:-"$JETTY_HOME"/work}

And the resulting structure.
