Re: [jetty-users] Another newbie-9.x-user question

John,

All you have to do in that case is specify the directory location. In the example below I set a context of /chris using the /chris directory in the webapps folder of my ${jetty.base}:

<Configure id="chrisApp" class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="contextPath">/chris</Set>
  <Set name="war"><Property name="jetty.webapps" default="."/>/chris</Set>
</Configure>

I will see what I can do about making the documentation more clear in this regard.

Best,

Chris

John,

Regarding the deploy module, you can disable the automatic deployment of
webapps by setting the value of /jetty.deploy.scanInterval=/ to 0. You
can change this by editing the /${jetty.base}/start.ini /or
/${jetty.base}/start.d/deploy.ini/ file (depending on your setup). You
can read more about hot deployment here
<https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/hot-deployment.html>.

Thanks! I somehow missed that section when I was reading the documentation...

One further question: Is there a way to just use an XML file as described here:
https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-specific-webapp-deployment.html
but specifying a directory name rather than a .war file? I can't find anything in WebAppContext or its parents that just lets you specify a directory name. Again, I'm probably missing something obvious...

Thanks again,
