[jetty-users] ContextHandlerCollection as a child handler of ContextHand

[Neil Williams <neil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looking at having the following:

public class ContextPlay {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    Server server = new Server(8000);

    ContextHandlerCollection chc = new ContextHandlerCollection();

    chc.setHandlers(new Handler[] {new PrintHandler("/a"), new PrintHandler("/b"), new PrintHandler("/c")});

    ContextHandler ch = new ContextHandler("/base")

    ch.setHandler(chc);

    server.setHandler(ch);

    server.start();

    server.join();

  }

  public static class PrintHandler extends ContextHandler {

    public PrintHandler(String context) {

      super(context);

    }

    @Override

    public void doHandle(String target, Request baseRequest, HttpServletRequest request,

        HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {

      response.getWriter().print(getContextPath());

      baseRequest.setHandled(true);

    }

  }

}

So a base ContextHandler with the ContextHandlerCollection as the ContextHandler's child handler.

A request to http://localhost:8000/base/c will 404, a request to http://localhost:8000/base/a will succeed. Is this sort of chaining meant to be supported by Jetty? It would certainly be useful.

Thanks, Neil
