2010-10-01 08:34:09.390:INFO::jetty-7.1.6.v20100715
2010-10-01 08:34:09.421:INFO::Deployment monitor D:\_Projets\Personal\runtime-EclipseApplication-Jetty-Demo\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\contexts at interval 5
2010-10-01 08:34:09.421:INFO::Deployable added: D:\_Projets\Personal\runtime-EclipseApplication-Jetty-Demo\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\contexts\mywebapp.xml

You can notice that:

  • Jetty deploy mywebapp by using file mywebapp.xml (which configure org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext and it is generated with the WTP Jetty Adaptor).
  • mywebapp.xml is stored in YOUR_WORKSPACE/.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\contextsfolder (your metdata). When you modify the file YOUR_WORKSPACE /mywebapp/index.htm (from your Eclipse project), the WTP Adaptor publish it to the OUR_WORKSPACE/.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0/wtpwebapps\mywebapp folder.
  • Port used is 8080. If you wish modify the port, please read Jetty/Jetty WTP Plugin/Jetty WTP Modify Port

Step 8

Go at http://localhost:8080/mywebapp/
