0

Recently, I host a website in Amazon EC2, and I use Jetty 7.4 as my server.

I test it in my machine and EC2, and it works properly.

But after a few weeks, it suddenly can’t be accessed. Checking the log, it just said “/WEB-INF/view/index.jsp” not found. And then the whole site can’t be used any more until restarting the Jetty server.

BTW: in my project I used Spring Framework, Spring MVC, Ehcache, Shiro, Hibernate, Google Web Toolkit, etc.

Why?

I almost use the default configuration file for Jetty:

Run

bin/jetty.sh check

You may find

-Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp

Change it to some other folder since the OS will delete files in /tmp after a period of time.
