                                        null);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

Answer 1

You can definitely only set the port of the HttpService itself, but it will never try to use port 80 by default. Would it be an idea to configure the server you've got at 80 to proxy certain parts to the OSGi service?

This stuff is a bit trickier than it seems. Getting all the web stuff working (especially more advanced stuff like Filters) isn't that easy.

Pax Web made it much easier. ( this bundle contains Jetty and all its dependencies, so you can remove the jetty you are using now)

The port can be configured using OSGi configuration, but by default it is on 8080.

No, this can only be done at container level. Which is your application server? For tomcat, check out the port parameter of the HTTP connector .
