Add a Startup Class in Jetty

Add a Startup Class in Jetty

Jetty provides an approach, known as module, to start a Class while Jetty server is started. Add following line in start.ini:

--module=tasks

The new module name is tasks. We should have a simple module modules/tasks.mod with content:

[xml]
etc/tasks.xml

And etc/tasks.xml with content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure_9_0.dtd">

<Configure id="tasks" class="com.mycom.task.Schedular">
</Configure>

The Class com.mycom.task.Schedular should have a constructor with no argument.

Start Jetty server with command start -jar start.jar, an instance of com.mycom.task.Schedular will be initialized.
