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

For Jetty 9, if you have webjars, the solution provided does not work straight away as those Jars need to be on the classpath and the JAR contents need to be available as resources for your webapp. So, for that to work together with webjars, the config would have to be:

context.setExtraClasspath(pathsToWebJarsCommaSeparated);
context.setAttribute(WebInfConfiguration.WEBINF_JAR_PATTERN, ".*\\.jar$");
context.setAttribute(WebInfConfiguration.CONTAINER_JAR_PATTERN, ".*\\.jar$");
context.setConfigurations(
        new org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.Configuration[] { 
        new WebInfConfiguration(), new MetaInfConfiguration(),
        new AnnotationConfiguration() {
            @Override
            public void preConfigure(WebAppContext context) throws Exception {
                final ClassInheritanceMap map = new ClassInheritanceMap();
                final ConcurrentHashSet set = new ConcurrentHashSet<>();
                set.add(MyWebAppInitializer.class.getName());
                map.put(WebApplicationInitializer.class.getName(), set);
                context.setAttribute(CLASS_INHERITANCE_MAP, map);
                _classInheritanceHandler = new ClassInheritanceHandler(map);
            }
        } });

The order here is important (WebInfConfiguration has to come before MetaInf).
