Question

I have installed Run Jetty Run plugin for Eclipse.

Following Getting Started and User Guide I was able to make work with creating a new Java Project, creating web folder and then WEB-INF inside it. WEB-INF is an empty folder and web has index.html.

Now I want to enable connections only via loopback interface. My guess is that configurable via WEB-INF\web.xml file, but I am not able to find any documentation about that file format used by Run Jetty Run.

How can I do that?

There is no simple way to do this!

In the runjettyrun’s source code (runjettyrun.Bootstrap.java):

private static void initConnnector(Server server, Configs configObj) {
    SelectChannelConnector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();

    //Don't set any host , or the port detection will failed. -_-#
    //connector.setHost("127.0.0.1");
    connector.setPort(configObj.getPort());

    if (configObj.getEnablessl() && configObj.getSslport() != null)
        connector.setConfidentialPort(configObj.getSslport());

    server.addConnector(connector);

    if (configObj.getEnablessl() && configObj.getSslport() != null)
        initSSL(server, configObj.getSslport(), configObj.getKeystore(),
                configObj.getPassword(), configObj.getKeyPassword(),
                configObj.getNeedClientAuth());

}

The plugin need to check the used port whether or not.

The ‘setHost’ code was commented by the plugin author(Maybe you can hack this).

Also there is no way to set the host in the ‘Connector’ interface:

org.eclipse.jetty.server.Connector.setHost(String)
