[jetty-users] GWT+Jersey+Embedded Jetty+war files query

[goffredo@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help with a problem I have not been able to solve.
I have a simple GWT application, with a simple Jersey REST server. I  
am able to compile and succesfully run it on Eclipse IDE using  
SuperDev Mode. I am able to created a .war file from my project, and  
drop this .war file into an unmodified stand-alone Jetty (9.4.6)  
webapps folder, and again it runs as expected. The .war File Size is  
95981747 bytes containing the appropriate GWT and Jersey jars (if that  
is relevant).

But when I try to load the .war file into an Embedded Jetty (9.4.2),  
the server-side programs will not work at all, as if the server side  
programs did not exist. The welcome page is however available, just  
that it appears there is no backend. (I am able as well to write and  
run simple Jersey REST applications with no dependency on GWT; also  
able to run simple GWT apps in embedded mode.) GWT's  
JettyLauncher.java (which starts embedded Jetty in Dev Mode) provides  
no clue. From my reading of the documentation a .war file should just  
work with embedded Jetty. I can't understand why one .war file works  
in embedded Jetty and another fails, or why a .war file works in Jetty  
stand-alone mode, but seriously fails in Jetty embedded mode. Maybe  
it's a configuration problem? If so is there a document that shows how  
to configure embedded Jetty to work like the stand-alone Jetty?

Regards
Goffredo
