Question

I am using Jetty 6 to host multiple web applications for various domains. I am doing the exploded WAR route, so how would I configure that in Jetty? Would I still set the war path and then say extractWar = false?

http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-6/apidocs/org/mortbay/jetty/webapp/WebAppContext.html

<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
        <Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"/>/webapps/walterjwhite.com</Set>
        <Set name="extractWAR">false</Set>
        <Set name="contextPath">/</Set>
        <Set name="virtualHosts">
            <Array type="java.lang.String">
                <Item>www.walterjwhite.com</Item>
                <Item>walterjwhite.com</Item>
            </Array>
        </Set>
    </Configure>

I didn’t see an example in the documentation, so I’m hoping to get steered in the right direction before testing it out.

extractWar doesn’t matter when your webapp is exploded. Look at the test app included in the Jetty 6 distribution, just point to your webapp directory and you’re good to go.
