Maven archetype for simple Java Servlet 4 application












1















Basically the same as this Question, Maven archetype for simple Servlet application, but for the current generation of the Java Servlet 4 standard.



Looking for a very simple project appropriate to quickly writing a demo Servlet or for starting a simple web app for real work.




  • Needs to be able to package a WAR file.

  • No need for full Java EE (now Jakarta EE) compatibility, nor even Java EE Web Profile compatibility. Just Servlet spec compatibility.

    The last requirement may be a little complicated since Jetty 9 is a Servlet 3.1 container and Jetty 10, that will be a Servlet 4.0, is still under development (eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/what-jetty-version.html ). Honestly, nowadays I don't even bother with Maven archetypes. Spring Initialzr can generate a Spring Boot 2.1 web project with embedded Tomcat 9 / Servlet 4.0 support in a matter of seconds. If you don't want Spring MVC just use spring-boot-starter-tomcat directly.

  • Basil, I understand. Unfortunately old school vanilla Web App archetypes for standalone Servlet containers have somewhat fallen out of favour. I haven't found any "modern" alternative to maven-archetype-webapp that doesn't assume either Java EE (e.g.: webapp-javaee7) or some kind of framework . You may need to build your own (it is not hard actually). I haven't tried myself but I would assume that tomcat7-plugin works with Tomcat 9 / Servlet 4.0 (it certainly works with Tomcat 8 / Servlet 3.1)
