Description Pedro Machado Santa CLA 2011-03-02 00:33:39 EST 
Hi.

I installed the Jetty WTP adapter as the wiki said (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty_WTP_Plugin/Jetty_WTP_Install) and setup the Jetty Server and created a Dynamic Web Page for testing as the wiki also said (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty_WTP_Plugin/Jetty_WTP_Dynamic_Web_Project).

But when I try to run the Jetty server from Eclipse (Step 6-7 of last link) it fails to load the app. The console output is at the end of this description.

I'm using the Eclipse Helios release (witch I downloaded from the Eclipse site and unpacked) in a Ubuntu 10.10 system. The mywebapp builds and compiles fine. I think it has something to with ASM and Jetty Annotations, that aren't being included properly although they are on the <jettyinstalldir>/lib.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers.

Pedro Machado Santa

Comment 2 Jesse McConnell CLA 2011-03-12 13:35:46 EST 
will take a look
Comment 3 Attila Balogh CLA 2011-04-04 13:31:14 EDT 
+1

Anyone happen to know any jetty/adapter version combo which works with Helios SR2? I absolutely don't need the latest versions from neither.
Comment 4 Hüdaverdi Cakir CLA 2011-04-12 03:28:54 EDT 
Same bug here :(

Workaround:
Add all JARs in jetty/lib/**/*.jar to plugin launch config's classpath.
That helped for me.
Comment 5 Rama CLA 2011-04-19 13:50:16 EDT 
Are you saying that you modified the start.config in Jetty server to include annotations related jar files? 

Actually we added jars one by one to identify the list of all applicable jars that are needed apart from what are included by default and found that what we need extra are only :
jetty-hightide-7.4.0.v20110414\lib\jta\javax.transaction_1.1.1.v201004190952.jar
jetty-hightide-7.4.0.v20110414\lib\annotations\asm-3.1.jar
jetty-hightide-7.4.0.v20110414\lib\annotations\javax.annotation_1.0.0.v20100513-0750.jar

Once these are added it works like charm.

I am wondering if anyone has tried changing StartConfig generator in org.eclipse.jst.server.jetty.core_1.0.0.201012221052.jar?

I am not getting complete source code to ensure that we generate appropriate start.config so that we can include these 3 jars also as part of the start.config generated for the WTP..

Manual workaround for getting this working.

This is still not a fix, i hope jetty wtp folks will do the correct fix but this is something we can do manually to make sure that the webapps can be deployed and tested from eclipse to jetty.

Created attachment 193624 [details]
Fixed the core plugin jar file

We can use this jar file in eclipse plugins after we install Jetty WTP plugin. This will automatically take care of the steps which i mentioned earlier.

I cant commit this source code but following are the files which i changed for this:

    String JTA_FOLDER = "jta";

Code is pretty much hardcoded to see that it includes only those files but if someone wants to patch a better version.. they are welcome.

Dear All,
        I found the same problem. I installed jetty WTP. After that when i run server it gives me the following exception. Kindly help me. I will be thankful to you all. :)

Snapshot of Jetty wtp launch configuration

Here is another way to avoid that issue:

1) Click on the Jetty server and open launch configuration.
2) Go to "ClassPath" tab in that launch configuration windows and select "User Entries" section in that. 
3) Now click on "Add External Jars" button and traverse on your machine to the path where you have jetty installed. In jetty folder "lib/annotations" folder has two jar files - include them and apply and close the server launch configuration.

This should fix your issue.
Comment 11 Joakim Erdfelt CLA 2016-02-17 10:32:34 EST 
Jetty WTP layer is not maintained by the Eclipse Jetty project.
