[jetty-dev] Option for Setting Context Params in Deployer Descriptors
|
I had asked on the user's list regarding the possibility of setting
Servlet context parameters within the a deployment descriptor. I didn't
receive an answer so I went looking at the code and it seems like this
is not possible. At least, I didn't see anything in the WebAppContext
class or its super types. The closest thing appeared to be the ability
to specify a special web.xml file that would be merged with the one in
the WAR.
A lot of web apps use context parameters to specify things that would
change per-deployment (e.g., configuration files). Having to break open
a WAR file (assuming its zipped up) to change such information is
annoying (and honestly beyond the means of some novice deployers).
So, my suggestion is to allow people to specify Servlet context params
within a context deployment descriptor.
What do people think?
