[jetty-users] Setting up basic server problem

[dairyman <dairyman@xxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody, 

this might be a ridiculously simple question for you but I'm stuck.

I want to setup a simple jetty server deploying a single .war webapp. 
Using the Java code from the documentation's embedded examples 
I cooked my own server.xml file, see below. 
When starting up the server the log tells 

Started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext@5b7a8434{/,file: /// tmp/ jetty-0.0.0.0-10912-
server.war-_-any-1474031351742553967.dir/webapp/,AVAILABLE}{/secret/jetty-
base/wars/server.war}
Started ServerConnector@352c1b98{HTTP/1.1,[http/1.1]}{0.0.0.0:10912}

which makes me believe the war file is found and read, as well as the port 
open.  When connecting to a URL of the war in the browser however, I always 
yield 404s. The only config files (listed in --list-config) are jetty-home/etc/
jetty.xml and my server.xml. Active modules are: ext, resources, server, 
servlet, servlets, security, webapp. No other stuff in start.ini. 

I know that the war is sane, because when I drop it into demo-base/webapps I 
can easily access the war content in the browser. 

What am I missing to access the war in the standalone setting?
Thanks for any hint!

Best Regards
dairyman
