[jetty-users] Unable to disable annotation scanning using "metadata-comp

[Paul Philion <philion@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,  

I am using "jetty:run" to test my web app, but it takes over 60 seconds to initialize.

I tracked down to the "metadata-complete=true" option (in web.xml), but it is not helping. This is making my code-test cycle really painful!

My web.xml:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd";
    version="2.5"
    metadata-complete="true">



Some logs (with LEVEL=DEBUG):

% mvn -Dorg.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL=DEBUG jetty:run
….

[58 seconds of JarScanner logs, for everything in the classpath]

So, the logs seem to indicate that the "metadata-complete" is recognized, but the classpath is scanned anyhow!

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
