             Summary: Embed Jetty 8 in Felix Http Jetty
                 Key: FELIX-4421
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4421
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: HTTP Service
    Affects Versions: http-2.2.1
            Reporter: Dominique Pfister


Currently, the Jetty version embedded in Felix Http Jetty is version 7.6.13.v20130916. In order to leverage features available in Servlet API 3.0 only, I'd like to change the embedded version to 8.1.14.v20131031.

A quick test shows that increasing this version number in {{parent/pom.xml}} alone requires some small changes to JettyService, deployment of a fresh build of Http Jetty into an OSGI container succeeds, but no request can be handled, because Jetty internally calls methods on interfaces on classes that were only introduced in Servlet API 3.0.

This implies that the servlet version supported should be upped to 3.0 as well. In order to be backward compatible with bundles expecting a 2.x version, one could also export a virtual version (e.g. 2.6) to satisfy those.
