Re: [jetty-user] Jetty 8.0

Hi,

I've trying to configure 8.1.2 to run with a webapp that I cannot keep in the distribution. I'm using the command line as follows.

java -Dapp.properties=webapp.properties -Djetty.home=../bin/jetty-distribution-8.1.2 -jar ../bin/jetty-distribution-8.1.2/start.jar ./jetty/etc/jetty.xml

The problem is in addition to scanning my webapp and context directories, it is also scanning the $JETTY_HOME/webapps and $JETTY_HOME/contexts first. This causes the script fails with a BindException: address already in use. If I switch ports on my listener then all is well. So the question is, how do I get jetty to not scan the configuration in the distribution. Note that I've gone through jetty-context.xml and jetty-webapps.xml to change the deployment directory to my local directory. Just having difficulty seeing what I've missed.


One other point,  when I run

java -Djetty.home=../bin/jetty-distribution-8.1.2 -jar ../bin/jetty-distribution-8.1.2/start.jar --help

from the same directory as I'm trying to run my webapp from (not the jetty distribution dir) I get the following output:

  The current start.ini arguments are:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.loadStartIni(Main.java:1053)
	at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.usage(Main.java:384)
	at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.start(Main.java:517)
	at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.main(Main.java:82)

Appreciate any pointers.

Kind regards,
