html server grizzly+jersey (.html from .jar archive)

Question

I want to serve my .html sites from a .jar archive and not from a folder. At the moment i use grizzly (with jersey) and serve static pages like:

HttpServer webServer;
....
....
webServer.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(new StaticHttpHandler("varwww"), "/app");
webServer.start();

Is there a way to get the webserver not to retrieve .html from folder "varwww" and to get it from myhtml.jar?

Answer 1

This feature is implemented in Grizzly 2.3.3+. Here is the correspondent issue.

You can use special CLStaticHttpHandler and pass ClassLoader to be used to find static resources. For example:

httpServer.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(
            new CLStaticHttpHandler(new URLClassLoader(new URL[] {new URL("file:///home/username/staticfiles.jar")})), "/www");

Hope that will help.
