Re: [jetty-users] Dynamically loading a @ServerEndpoint class at runtime

Hi Joakim,

Thanks for the quick reply, however I am not sure if I quite explained
my need in enough detail...

We need to do this after Jetty has already been configured and started.

> The class MUST be a class accessible via a JAR or FileSystem (no dynamic classes or purely runtime classes supported).

The class is in a Jar file which we have loaded using our custom
classloader named org.exist.start.EXistClassLoader. I am not sure how
Jetty would know about this class loader? Do we need to tell Jetty
about it somehow?

> If these classes are on the Server / System classpath, then the `org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern` context attribute can be modified (hint: it's a regex) to include the server jars (of filesystem paths) that have your classes that you are interested in.

The classes are NOT on the Server or the System classpath, they are
loaded on-demand at runtime via our EXistClassLoader. So I don't think
changing `ContainerIncludeJarPattern` will help here.

Does that make more sense now?
