[jetty-users] WebAppContext setAttribute()

[Michael Karrys <mikekarrys@xxxxxxx>]

I have setup the following Jetty embedded server and my own object in the following way.

            MessagebusContainer messagebus  = new MessagebusContainer();
            server = new Server(serverPort);
 
            WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext();
            webapp.setContextPath("/");
            webapp.setWar(user_dir + "/webapps/my.war");
            webapp.setAttribute("messagebus", messagebus);

            HandlerCollection handlers = new HandlerCollection();
            handlers.setHandlers(new Handler[]{webapp, new DefaultHandler()});

            server.setHandler(handlers);

            server.start();
            server.join();

Then in my war I have the following code in my servlet.

        MessagebusContainer messagebus = (MessagebusContainer) request.getServletContext().getAttribute("messagebus");

and I have tried.

        MessagebusContainer messagebus = (MessagebusContainer) request.getAttribute("messagebus");
 
but messagebus object is always NULL. Is there a way to pass objects to servlets through the context? 

The following is maven dependency list that is compiled into the jar.
