Re: [jetty-users] Question regarding Embedded Jetty and WebApp Deploymen

        Server server = new Server(80);
       
        ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
        context.setContextPath("/");
        context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new HelloServlet()),"/hello");
       
        ContextHandlerCollection contexts = new ContextHandlerCollection();
               
        WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext();
        webapp.setResourceBase(".");

Don't use this with a webapp (the .setWar() a few lines below this does this for you, and correctly)

 

        webapp.setDescriptor("WEB-INF/web.xml");
        webapp.setContextPath("/");

This is the same contextPath as your ServletContextHandler above, this will never work, as your ServletContextHandler will answer all requests, never letting your WebAppContext process anything.

Just skip the ServletContextHandler entirely.

Use webapp.addServlet() instead.

 

        webapp.setExtractWAR(true);
        webapp.setWar("E:\\jettyTest\\webapps\\testWebApp.war");
        contexts.setHandlers(new Handler[]{context, webapp});

If you have no ServletContextHandler, then you don't need the ContextHandlerCollection.

 

       
        server.setHandler(contexts);

If you have no ContextHandlerCollection, you can just use server.setHandler(webapp)

 

        server.start();

 

The server starts up fine, the servlet handler is also registered fine, but my webapp Context startup always fails with the following exception

Jetty 9.2.13.v20150730 is the current stable version of Jetty 9.2.x

java.io.FileNotFoundException: E:\jettyTest\org\eclipse\jetty\webapp\webdefault.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

The change to not use .setResourceBase() should have made an improvement here.
