Do NOT skip the Getting Started section. All of the example material depends on the use of a number of files that are not included in the Jetty distribution but are part of the java-idp-jetty-base project we store in our Git repository, which can be cloned via : We may publish it in a more "official" capacity in the future, but for now it's simply an example to build on. It includes some custom Jetty "modules" that help support a simpler configuration. |

Getting Started
The examples on this page are based on the use of a number of files that are not included in the Jetty distribution but are part of the java-idp-jetty-base project we store in our Git repository. The examples won't work as is without starting from that complete set of example files. The 10 branch contains the files used in this material.
The following commands (Linux-style) will get you to the starting point assumed from the examples in this page:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ git clone https://git.shibboleth.net/git/java-idp-jetty-base
$ cd java-idp-jetty-base
$ git checkout 10
$ cp -r src/main/resources/jetty-base /my/desired/location/ |
