Question

I have deployed a .war file inside Jetty Server.

The server has been started, but please tell me where could I see the contents of that war file??

I have read that:

If the extract parameter is true, any packed war or zip files will
first be extracted to a temporary directory before being deployed.

Please tell me where can I set the extract parameter is true and what will be the temporary folder path??

This is my jetty-webapps.xml file

<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
    <Ref id="DeploymentManager">
          <Call id="webappprovider" name="addAppProvider">
            <Arg>
              <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.WebAppProvider">
                <Set name="monitoredDirName"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/webapps</Set>
                <Set name="defaultsDescriptor"><Property name="jetty.home" default="."/>/etc/webdefault.xml</Set>
                <Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
                <Set name="contextXmlDir"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/contexts</Set>
        <Set name="extractWars">true</Set>
              </New>
            </Arg>
          </Call>
    </Ref>
</Configure>

All the war files which you deploy are extracted in Jetty_Home/work for deployment. But if you want that war files should be extracted in temp folder before deployed to work folder, then you can set the extractWars parameter as true in jetty-webapps.xml file. The jetty-webapps.xml file is located in Jetty_HOME/etc/ folder.

<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
    <Ref id="DeploymentManager">
          <Call id="webappprovider" name="addAppProvider">
            <Arg>
              <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.WebAppProvider">
                <Set name="monitoredDirName"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/webapps</Set>
                <Set name="defaultsDescriptor"><Property name="jetty.home" default="."/>/etc/webdefault.xml</Set>
                <Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
                <Set name="contextXmlDir"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/contexts</Set>
        <Set name="extractWars">true</Set>
              </New>
            </Arg>
          </Call>
    </Ref>
</Configure>
