Installing the Jetty Server Bundle

The Jetty Server Bundle contains a preconfigured Jetty Server and the Scripting Server web application.

To install the package perform the following steps:

Download the Jetty Server Bundle
Unpack the zip archive into a directory of your choice
Change to the directory and run the start.cmd batch file
Open your browser and enter the URL http://localhost:8080

The default configuration is configured for http and https protocol (TLS). TLS requires client authentication using a X.509 certificate. The bundle comes configured with test keys and certificates located in the etc/ssl directory. To setup your browser to use TLS, you will need to import the PKCS#12 keys and certificates (client.p12) into you browser.

We strongly advice to replace the provided test keys and certificate with self generated keys and certificates before using the Scripting Server in a production environment.

Installing the Scripting Server Standalone Version

The standalone version comes with a launcher module that installs a tray icon. Use the tray icon to inspect the log, open the browser with the UI or to shutdown the server.

Download and unpack the archive into a directory of your choice
Run the scriptingserver batch file contained in the unpacked directory
Click on the tray icon to open the log, the browser or to shutdown the server

Installing the Scripting Server Web Archive

To install the package perform the following steps:

Download the Jetty Server Bundle
Unpack the zip archive into a directory of your choice
Deploy the .war file contained in jetty/webappsonto a running servlet container
Open your browser and enter the URL http://localhost:8080
