How to make Jetty dynamically load “static” pages

Question

I am building Java web applications, and I hate the traditional \"code-compile-deploy-test\" cycle. I want to type in one tiny change, then see the result INSTANTLY, without

Similar to @kybernetikos answer, but without having to recreate the DefaultServlet:

// Startup stuff
final Server server = new Server(port);
WebAppContext webAppContext = new WebAppContext(path, "/")
webAppContext.setInitParam(
        "org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.Default.useFileMappedBuffer", "false");

server.setHandler(webAppContext);
server.start();
server.join();

DefaultServlet will look for it's own copy of useFileMappedBuffer, which seems to be set deep inside of Jetty. But by prefixing the property name with as above, this value is preferred.
