Bug#587459: jetty: Does not support multiple Server instances

[Mark Janssen]

Package: jetty
Version: 6.1.24-2
Severity: wishlist

The Jetty Debian package has its port configuration set through its init script and does not seem to have any way to run multiple org.mortbay.jetty.Server instances. This is required to efficiently run multiple webapps on separate ports, which is useful when a reverse proxy is needed in front of Jetty.
