Re: [jetty-user] Static content with authentication?

Ok, I got it.

I use a webapp context instead of the servlet context, and override the 
webdefault.xml to specify my security constraints.

<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.*WebAppContext*">
<Set name="contextPath">/doc</Set>
<Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="JETTY_HOME" default="."/>/doc</Set>
<Set name="extractWAR">false</Set>
<Set name="copyWebDir">false</Set>
<Set name="*overrideDescriptor*">webdefault.xml</Set>
</Configure>
