Jetty: Hide port number in the URL

Question

I buy a domain name: test.com.

Then I run jetty by doing:

/opt/jetty# nohup java -jar start.jar

When I go on my web site (http://test.com), It's not working, I need to add the port number like: http://test.com:8080 and this is very dirty. So, I want to delete or hide this port number.

What I tried is to run jetty with the port number like:

nohup java -jar start.jar -Djetty.http.port=8080

Then, in the file jetty-http.xml (in /opt/jetty/etc), I changed the line:

<Set name="port"><Property name="jetty.http.port" deprecated="jetty.port" default="8080" /></Set>

I am using:

Vaadin.
Maven.
Jetty.

Where should I manage this?

To prevent question, I tried to delete the <jetty.port>8080</jetty.port> without sucess.

EDIT : Based on maven jetty plugin - remove localhost/server name from url

I tried to changed the localhostto myapplicationname from /etc/hosts. I restart jetty. And, it's not working

If I understand the problem correctly, you need to use the 80 port as the Jetty's one (jetty.http.port), because http://test.com/ means that the port is the default — 80.

Additional references:

Update

This sentence clarifies the problem a little bit:

I'm sorry, I don't know how I can provide more.. I installed Jetty 9 on a debian

— Bob, the original message.

Edit the /etc/default/jetty9 file as follows:

# Additional arguments to pass to Jetty
JETTY_ARGS=jetty.port=80

# If you run Jetty on port numbers that are all higher than 1023, then you
# do not need authbind. It is used for binding Jetty to lower port numbers.
# (yes/no, default: no)
AUTHBIND=yes

Then, restart the Jetty server:

# service jetty9 restart

This is was I tried and describe in the post. This is not deleting the :8080 in the URL. – Bob Nov 17 '17 at 21:11
@Bob, could you please update the question by adding [a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve), including the content of the `pom.xml` file? – Sergey Vyacheslavovich Brunov Nov 17 '17 at 21:17
I added the pom.xml. – Bob Nov 17 '17 at 21:27
I don't think it's in my java code... and my code contain huge lines. I think it's in maven or jetty configuration – Bob Nov 17 '17 at 21:35
@Bob, it would be great, if you could provide a minimal, but complete example to reproduce the problem. – Sergey Vyacheslavovich Brunov Nov 17 '17 at 21:43
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/159262/discussion-between-bob-and-sergey-brunov). – Bob Nov 17 '17 at 21:45
@Bob, please see the updated answer (after having the first chat). – Sergey Vyacheslavovich Brunov Nov 20 '17 at 17:22
I tried your solutions, both are not working. In the first one, I cannot find the logs error...And it seems to be a solution to run projet on port 80. My project is working but I want to hide the :8080 from the URL – Bob Nov 21 '17 at 20:28
@Bob, let's get back to the chat. – Sergey Vyacheslavovich Brunov Nov 22 '17 at 13:51
