Jetty: HTTP ERROR: 503/ Service Unavailable

Question

I'm new to Jetty, I tried to run the sample program here "http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/128145/Run-Jetty-Web-Server-Within-Your-Application" but I got error message on my page "http://localhost:8585/runJetty/"

"HTTP ERROR: 503
Problem accessing /runJetty/. Reason: 
    Service Unavailable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Powered by Jetty:// "

Error log I get from eclipse:

Answer 1

2012-04-20 11:14:32.617:WARN:oejx.XmlParser:FATAL@file:/C:/Users/***/workspace/Test/WEB-INF/web.xml line:1 col:7 : org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

You Log says, that you web.xml is malformed. Line 1, colum 7. It may be a UTF-8 Byte-Order-Marker

Try to verify, that your xml is wellformed and does not have a BOM. Java doesn't use BOMs.

Answer 2

Actually, I solved the problem. I run it by eclipse jetty plugin.

1. I didn't have the JDK lib in my eclipse, that's why the message keep showing that I need the full JDK installed, that's the main reason.

2. I installed two versions of jetty plugin, wich is jetty7 and jetty8. I think they conflict with each other or something, so I removed the jetty7, and it works!
