Static deployment on Jetty

Question

How can I configure jetty to deploy only one specific web application, and disable hot deployment (disable monitoring webapps directory, disable checking this single application for changes) ?

Answer 1

I would use the context provider only, and just disable the webapp provider. Then you have no scanning of the webapps directory, just a context file that points to your webapp.

edit the start.ini file and make sure you have the jetty-deploy.xml and jetty-contexts.xml files active, and comment out the jetty-webapps.xml line. Then you just need a file in the contexts directory that points to your webapp.

more on the context provider here:

Answer 2

If i get your question right then it means you want to to embed jetty in your application as compared to deploy your web application in jetty.

If that is the case the read this: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Embedding_Jetty else tell me exactly what you are stuck with.
