Change Jetty default port

Question

Jetty default port is 8080, but I want to change to default port to some other port (9999).

I read a few tutorials and they said almost all of configuration informa

Answer 1

For IntelliJ, this can be done similar to Magnus Lassi's command-line answer.

Run --> Edit Configurations --> Add "-Djetty.port=XXXX", e.g.:

jetty:run-war -Djetty.port=9999

Answer 2

I changed the port successfully, you can try to edit jetty.port in the file located at $Jetty_home/start.d/http.ini.

Answer 3

Just for completeness on jetty 7 you can use this:

java -jar start.jar --module=http jetty.port=9080

Answer 4

You need to change the http port in the start.ini file because it will over-right jetty-http.xml config.Or just comment the line in start.ini and keep your config from jetty-http.xml. In [jetty home]/start.ini

## HTTP port to listen on
#jetty.port=8080

Answer 5

If you are using eclipse you need to set the run configurations. When you install jetty in eclipse, the default port for jetty is 8080.

So you need to change it into an XML file. If the problem remains, you need to change it in eclipse run configurations.

I hope it works, as it worked for me.

Answer 6

Update:

On Jetty 9.x, jetty.port has been deprecated and you can use jetty.http.port instead, as shown below:

$> cd $JETTY_HOME && java -jar start.jar -Djetty.http.port=8080
