I have been working with Jetty for a week and I have Maven handling the management. I have been successfully getting my program to run and work on my local computer, but when I try to deploy the app to a server, I keep getting this issue after running the command:

 java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar

My webdefault is located in usr/share/jetty9/etc folder, but it keeps looking in java and I have looking into the xml files there, trying to find a way to redirect the location so that it does not look into /usr/share/java/etc/. Thank you

How did You install Java and jetty? – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen
@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen I followed a tutorial online. What the command I used was sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer and I installed jetty with sudo apt-get install jetty9 – ConfuzzledandPuzzled
@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen if it helps, the result of java -version is java version "1.8.0_181" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode) – ConfuzzledandPuzzled
Awesome. I got it working. Jetty-runner installation also helped! – ConfuzzledandPuzzled

Your jetty installation is broken. Uninstall it and download an official tar ball instead.

After starting the server and you see it running, you should be able to deploy your war file

You can try different deployment options e.g

java -jar jetty-runner-9.4.0.M1.jar jetty-app/target/jetty-app.war

Options are given in doc - http://www.baeldung.com/deploy-to-jetty
