There is no out of the box way to disable logging.

In later versions of Jetty there is a setting for the logging called setIgnorePaths which presumably would allow us to ignore some or all handler paths - but this is not implemented in our version of Jetty.

I haven't extensively tested this but this works when I tested it.

You have to stop/start the server for it to pick up the change though - usually you would do this before the webserver.start but jServer only adds the handlers during the start method.

Also, as the request logger is using a OutputStream you need to set this to "NUL" on Windows and "/dev/null" on Linux.

    webserver.Start

    Dim jo As JavaObject = webserver
    Dim HandlerCollection As JavaObject = jo.GetFieldJO("server").RunMethod("getHandler", Null)

    Dim Handlers() As Object = HandlerCollection.RunMethod("getHandlers", Null)

    For Each Handler As JavaObject In Handlers
        Dim class As String = Handler.RunMethod("getClass",Null)
        If class = "class org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.RequestLogHandler" Then
            Dim RequestLog As JavaObject = Handler.RunMethodJO("getRequestLog",Null)
        
            If File.DirApp.StartsWith("/") Then
                RequestLog.RunMethod("setFilename",Array("/dev/null"))
            Else
                RequestLog.RunMethod("setFilename",Array("NUL"))
            End If       
        
            Handler.RunMethod("setRequestLog",Array(RequestLog))       
        End If
    Next

    jo.GetFieldJO("server").RunMethod("stop", Null)
    jo.GetFieldJO("server").RunMethod("start", Null)

    StartMessageLoop

You can set Server.LogsRetainDays to 1 and it will only keep one or two logs files for the last day. The default value is 30.

it would be great in future if we have an internal option to disable logging
