I have done a similar thing before but are you launchign the app as "java -jar xxx.war" ?. You have only 2 jars and it is not going to be enough I think. Also try using Jetty 7.0.0M1 (which is the latest version). When I added jetty-server and jetty-webapp as two dependencies (they are from org.eclipse.jetty) I get the following jar's in the lib directory. FYI the org.mortbay.jetty.Handler was in the jetty-server*.jar.

• jetty-continuation-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-http-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-io-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-security-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-server-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-servlet-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-util-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-webapp-7.0.0.M1.jar
• jetty-xml-7.0.0.M1.jar
