Spring application with embedded jetty can't find webdefault.xml if running from jar

Question

I have spring application which uses embedded Jetty instance.

project
   | src
      | controller
      | webapps
          | jsp
          | WEB-INF
                    


        

Answer 1

Your webdefault.xml (Jetty) is missing:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\test\org\eclipse\jetty\webapp\webdefault.xml

see "What is webdefault.xml?"

If you have a custom location, you need to add it:

context.setDefaultsDescriptor("/my/path/to/webdefault.xml");
