[jetty-users] Using MovedContextHandler with the maven-jetty-plugin
Hello all,

I want to setup a permanent HTTP redirect in the embedded Jetty server that I'm using in my Maven build. I'm using Maven 3.0.4 and the jetty-maven-plugin version 9.0.6.v20130930. The Jetty documentation clearly demonstrates how to set this up in a non-embedded Jetty instance, but I can't quite figure out how to to set it up when running inside of Maven.

Here's the context XML file I'm using to do the redirect from /permanently-moved-feeds to /

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure_9_0.dtd">

<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.MovedContextHandler">
  <Set name="contextPath">/permanently-moved-feeds</Set>
  <Set name="newContextURL">/</Set>
  <Set name="permanent">true</Set>
  <Set name="discardPathInfo">false</Set>
  <Set name="discardQuery">false</Set> 
</Configure>

Here is the relevant Maven pom.xml configuration:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>

                <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                  <resourcesBases>src/main/webapp,src/main/webapp/test-feeds,src/main/webapp/permanently-moved-feeds</resourcesBases>

                  <!-- Add src/main/conf/jetty/jetty-logging.xml and create a logs folder to enable Jetty logging. -->
                  <jettyXml>src/main/conf/jetty/jetty.xml,src/main/conf/jetty/contexts/PermanentlyMovedRSS.xml,src/main/conf/jetty/jetty-logging.xml</jettyXml>

                </configuration>
                <executions>
                 <execution>
                    <id>start-jetty</id>
                    <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>

                    <goals>
                      <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                      <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>

                      <daemon>true</daemon>
                    </configuration>
                  </execution>
                  <execution>
                    <id>stop-jetty</id>

                    <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                    <goals>
                      <goal>stop</goal>
                    </goals>
                  </execution>

                </executions>
            </plugin>             

So my specific question is how do I configure the jetty-maven-plugin so 
that Jetty knows where to find the context XML file in the first XML 
sample? When I run mvn jetty:run, I see that the config files I have specified are loaded but when I do a GET
for http://localhost:8080/permanently-moved-feeds, the response status code is 200 instead of 301. Am I approaching this configuration in the right way?
