Greg, how adverse to this hack would you be?

basically in JettyWebXmlConfiguration we check if there is an old jetty-web.xml file and automatically translate it to the correct class name, while issuing a WARNING.

this works for the latest ehcache-server.war file I am testing with

Note, I have this committed locally and am leveraging it for the ehcache session testing in the jetty-ehcache-sessions project in the jetty-sandbox

Comment 3 Jesse McConnell 2011-08-26 12:13:19 EDT

closing, resolved via throwing a warning message if jetty-web.xml can not be processed but it no longer kills deployment outright
