I understand that there is a jetty plugin for elasticsearch, which enables us to run ES in a jetty container instead of using Netty for HTTP. Is there a way for us to bundle elasticsearch and run it on an existing jetty instance, instead of spawning a new jetty instance? The idea is for us to use a wrapper REST service (which contains business model and logic), that talks to elasticsearch for indexing and searching capabilities. We may want to interact with ES cluster using the Java Client from the wrapper REST service For the monitoring and administration, we may want to enable HTTP in a single node, and run it on the container where the wrapper REST service exists. Suggestions or experiences will greatly help! Thanks -Vidhya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Look at the wares plugin. It enables building an ES node as a war that can be deployed into a webapp container like Jetty, Tomcat, Glassfish, or Wildfly, with executing a wrapper REST service, for example with Jersey. > **[elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares)** > > elasticsearch-transport-wares - Servlet transport for Elasticsearch I submitted some useful addings for ready-to-deploy > Of course you have to modify that for your favorite war deploy environment and solution.

Get wares plugin source, apply my patch [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-transport-wares/pull/8.patch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-transport-wares/pull/8.patch) and enter "mvn war" for maven build to get started.
