Spring 3.1 WebApplicationInitializer & Embedded Jetty 8 AnnotationConfiguration

Question

I\'m trying to create a simple webapp without any XML configuration using Spring 3.1 and an embedded Jetty 8 server.

However, I\'m struggling to get Jetty to recogni

Answer 1

To make it work on Jetty 9 set attribute AnnotationConfiguration.CLASS_INHERITANCE_MAP on WebAppContext

webAppContext.setAttribute(AnnotationConfiguration.CLASS_INHERITANCE_MAP, createClassMap());

And here is how to create this map:

private ClassInheritanceMap createClassMap() {
    ClassInheritanceMap classMap = new ClassInheritanceMap();
    ConcurrentHashSet impl = new ConcurrentHashSet<>();
    impl.add(MyWebAppInitializer.class.getName());
    classMap.put(WebApplicationInitializer.class.getName(), impl);
    return classMap;
}

I placed that solution on gitHub
