Microsoft LiveMeeting gets a D

My company is evaluating Microsoft LiveMeeting as an alternative to Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly known as Macromedia Breeze). The installation of the plugin is clunky – a plain old download and installation from Firefox, though without a browser restart. The layout is even more confusing than that’s of Acrobat Connect, with menus that open but do not really close, and menu items that are not really descriptive. Not sure if it was our fault but image quality was just awful. So it works – you can see what the presenter wants you to see, but other than that, it is no fun.

Working with Jetty

For my thesis, I am going to use the Jetty lightweight web server and as such am going to need a lot of trying and learning around how to use it, as it is more ’embedded’, for lack of a better word, than Tomcat. For me, Tomcat is a relatively known entity, having worked with in one form or another since 2000.

I am using Jetty 6.1.7,

So here goes…

Lesson #1: Setting Jetty’s default Port

  1. Open the file jetty.xml under the /etc folder inside the Jetty installation directory.
  2. Inside of the element with the name "addConnector", look for the element 
    <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8999"/></Set>

  3. Change the value of the default attribute to the port you want to use.
