Re: [jetty-users] Adding/Removing a webapp to an embedded Jetty

[Ivan Larionov <ilarionov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it is a way of embedding jetty. The default jetty server is 
started independently of your decision and you can contribute servlets 
and web apps using jetty's API in conjunction with the OSGi's one. Given 
that it naturally allows hot deployment and removal of web apps, 
servlets. That is why I suggested you search from that point to get a 
notion of how things are done. Possibly there is a simple way to do it 
just operating the jetty's API. I think it is something to do with 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Deployment_Manager 
DeploymentManager. I might need to find a suitable AppProvider or make one.
