SSL Engine connector

A new SSL connector has been added to jetty 6.1 that is based on the javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine class. This allows the asynchronous mechanisms of jetty to be applied to SSL connections, specifically Continuations.

See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Ssl+Connector+Guide

AJP13 connector

Jetty 6.1 now includes an implementation of the apache AJP protocol for forwarding requests from an apache httpd to Jetty. This connector is a significant rewrite from the Jetty 5 connector so more advance IO features can be used.

See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Configuring+AJP13+Using+mod_jk

Grizzly connector
A Grizzly HTTP connector has been added which uses the Grizzly NIO library from Sun’s Glassfish JEE server. This connector provides an integration path into Glassfish server and an alternative HTTP connector.
