[jetty-users] various problems with embedded jetty (in web app)
Hi all,

I have a couple of problems and need your help and some recommendations on embedding jetty in a web app.
I don't want to use maven to run it (no jetty:run) and I also don't want to use the start jar provided. As I want the war to be self sufficient.
To do so I have, implemented 2 classes for embedding jetty:
                    - one is the "production" server main class, that will be moved to the root of the war,
                    - the other is an implementation with hot deploy enabled to run during development (from eclipse for example).
And configured a pom for maven to produce the executable war (I use shade plugin to build it and choose only the needed artifacts to be copied at the root and deleted them from the WEB-INF/lib).

Most of the things work fine except :
                    - If I use jetty 8 the jsp-config in web.xml doesn't seem to be recognised, if I go back to jetty 7 and servlet 2.5 it's ok. However I would like to use jetty 8... am I missing something? I am using glassfishs implementations.

                    - Second problem. When I am using my development implementation of the server I have nullpointerexception in JstlBaseTLV.validate after a hot deploy of a jsp. If I look at the code, I can see that the initParameters map is null. Do you have any clue on how I could solve this problem? This one is pretty annoying...

                    - Last problem, when I am running the server on debian linux the app takes twice as much memory as in windows xp... does someone already had this kind of problem?

I am joining to the mail an extract of the pom and the two simplified server classes.
Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
Eugen
