Thanks, good to hear I was on the right track.
The second part of my question has to do with how to manage this in Eclipse during development. I have my java source files in
~/Workspace/MyProject/src
I’d like to keep the static content in
~/Workspace/MyProject/html
During development, I want Jetty to look in the html directory in my project directory, but when deploying the server, I’d like to move the static content into the directory where the server is deployed. Is there
a “standard” way to do this without having to change setResourceBase() right before creating the release build?
Thanks,
Chris

Apologies for the novice question, but I’m embedding Jetty into my server, and would like recommendations for what type of Eclipse project setup is best suited for this purpose. The server will primarily provide REST-based web services
but also needs to serve up some static (HTML/_javascript_) content. I know that if I create a Dynamic Web Content project, Eclipse expects that static content in a WebContent folder and will automatically move this content when creating a WAR file, but since
I’m embedding Jetty, a Dynamic Web Content project doesn’t seem like the right way to go.
How do I use my Eclipse project setup to manage the HTML content and how do I make sure it ends up in the right place so the embedded Jetty server will find it?
Thanks,

You do not need anything special for embedded Jetty. A regular java project will do.
For serving static content just use a DefaultServlet, specifying html content root directory (which can be anywhere) with setResourceBase().
