[jetty-users] embedded Jetty in executable WAR - avoid unpack

[Jerome <slvjerome+jetty@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm a Jetty newbie.  I'm looking for a servlet container 
that I can embed and Jetty sounds like a nice candidate.  However I 
would like to deploy my application, containing a web app with JSPs, as 
an executable WAR file.  And I would like Jetty not to unpack the WAR 
when it starts up.  Is this possible?

My application will be using the Spring framework.  I've played with a Spring Roo add-on that makes an executable WAR (http://tzolov.blogspot.com/2010/10/create-executable-wars-with-spring-roo.html). 
 However when I run it (java -jar mywar.war) Jetty extracts my webapp to
 a temp directory.  Can I avoid the unpacking and still run it?

See logs below...
