I can just start the jetty, and simply put my static content into the /javadoc folder, and then it can be viewed through a browser.

But I encounter a problem that the URL is case sensitive. That means if the file is test.pdf, and I cannot find it via TEST.PDF, but I really need it.

After searching in goolge for a long time, I find that most of the articles about jetty aliases are out-dated, they are not suitable for jetty 7.

But finally, I found the answer from jetty 7’s javadoc – ResourceHandler.setAliases(), and it redirected me to ContextHandler.isAliases()

Here is the update I made to make it work:
1. Open the javadoc.xml in the contexts folder
2. Add below line into the <Configure>:

<Set name=”aliases”>true</Set>

3. Start jetty
