## Jetty and Java EE Web Profile

Jetty implements aspects of the Java EE specification, primarily the Servlet Specification. Recent releases of the Java EE platform have introduced a Web Profile, recognizing that many developers need only a subset of the many technologies under the Java EE umbrella.

While Jetty itself does not ship all of the Web Profile technologies, Jetty architecture is such that you can plug in third party implementations to produce a container customized to your exact needs.

### Java EE 7 Web Profile

In the forthcoming Java EE-7 specification, the Web Profile reflects updates in its component specifications and adds some new ones:
