So I guess the real issue for domain mode is how we actually tell the
configured servers to use the ALPN jar, especially given that this
situation will likely be temporary, and not be required for Java 9+.
One option could be that if the -alpn option is passed to the host
controller on boot then all servers that it spawns will also have alpn on
the boot class path, but that just seems really hacky.
Another option would be to just require the user to setup the correct
-Xbootclasspath option manually in the JVM arguments. This is not very user
friendly though.

We should probably download these jars using a directory or file

becomes easy to support multiple jvm version environments which is very
common (both in domain and standalone).
In domain mode we could have the host controller bootstrap follow the same
approach as standalone. For domain server configured jvms we could reuse
the logic as part of the JVM argument building process.

Hi all,
Both SPDY and the upcoming HTTP2 protocol require the use of an SSL
extension called ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation).
Unfortunately this is not supported in current JDK's (it should appear in
JDK9), so the only way to support these protocols in Java at the moment is
to modify the boot class path and override the JDK SSL classes to add
support for this.
In practice this means add jetty-alpn-boot.jar to the boot class path,
however the exact version of the jar that is required depends on the JVM
version, which means we can't just ship a jar and add the boot class path
stuff to our startup scripts.
I have come up with a proof on concept[1] for how to deal with this, that
will download the appropriate ALPN jar for the current server if -alpn is
passed to the startup script, however we still need some way to handle this
in domain mode, where we need to make sure the servers are all started with
the appropriate parameter (worst case we could just require users to
install the appropriate JAR themselves, and then set the appropriate
JAVA_OPTS).
Hopefully the need for this will go away with Java 9, so I am not sure how
much effort we should spend dealing with this.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
