[jetty-users] classloading problems with custom authenticator

[Bill Burke <bburke@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm writing my own custom org.eclipse.jetty.security.Authenticator for 
Jetty 9.2.x.  Works great when embedding Jetty, but I can't get it to 
work with a WAR deployed within Jetty server.  I keep getting 
ClassNotFoundException for jetty system classes like:

import org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpChannel;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.UserIdentity;

I tried setServerClasses "-org.eclipse.jetty.server.", really most 
combinations here, with no go.  I'm guessing if I include 
jetty-server.jar I'll then get Class cast exceptions and Linkage errors. 
 Is there a way around this?

Thanks,

Bill
