Embedded Jetty web app context/holders serving from two resource bases with one web.xml (spring secuity)

Question

I have an existing application which is using the embedded jetty. Right now jetty has only one WebappContext and serving the files from a directory and also it has web.xml (which has spring security configuration in it)

Now I need to serve some static files using a new war.

What is the easy way to configure existing webappcontext to add a new resource base?

If I add new webappcontext how I can tell jetty to use existing web.xml and spring security?

Answer 1

The serving of static files is just the role of the DefaultServlet

See prior answer about that ...

As for the existing web.xml and spring security question, the WebAppContext's are, by design, and by the nature of the servlet spec, isolated from each other.

If you want a single spring security configuration that applies for both webapps, you'll need to setup/install CAS.
