We've had major problems with Jetty with shutting down the port and  
then retrying to restart it immediately.
If we tried to cycle things quickly (like a shutdown of one service  
and than immediately a publish of another on the same port), then  
requests to the second service sometimes wouldn't get there.   Caveat:  
I'm not sure if the latest Jetty versions have fixed that.

In general, we leave it open as that was the only way to make sure we  
can reliably get the messages.    To completely shut it down, you need  
to shutdown the bus.  BusFactory.getDefaultBus().shutdown(true);  
should completely shutdown everything.

To answer your other questions, when you stop a service, all that  
happens is that the Handler is unregistered with Jetty.  Thus,  
requests that have already been dispatched to the handler will  
continue.   Future requests would get a 404.
