Embedded Jetty looking for files inside its Jar file
I successfully embedded Jetty on a test application. It can serve files without issues. Now I want to know if it's possible for Jetty to serve files that are inside its own Jar file.
Does anyone know if that's possible?
Answer
An example is listed on the Jetty embedding page at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Embedding+Jetty
The trick is to create a File URL to your classpath location.
String webDir = this.class.getClassLoader().getResource("com/company/project/mywebdir").toExternalForm();
ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler();
context.setContextPath("/");
context.setResourceBase(webDir);
