[jetty-discuss] Server.addWebApplications ignores webdefault.xml

[James L. <ca...@on...>]

Using jetty-5.0.RC1

I've been trying to set the webdefaults for addWebApplications in my
server config file with no luck, it just ignores my web defaults
setting:

  <Set name=3D"rootWebApp">root</Set>
  <Call name=3D"addWebApplications">
    <Arg>virtualhost</Arg>
    <Arg>/the/path/to/my/web/apps/</Arg>
    <Arg>/this/is/completely/ignored.xml</Arg>
    <Arg type=3D"boolean">true</Arg>
  </Call>


Looking at the code I see why, from src/org/mortbay/jetty/Server.java
// $Id: Server.java,v 1.32 2004/05/19 14:27:33 gregwilkins Exp $

    public WebApplicationContext[] addWebApplications(String host,
                                                      String webapps,
                                                      String defaults,
                                                      boolean extract)
        throws IOException
    {
        return addWebApplications(host,webapps,null,extract,true);
    }


The workaround is to invoke the 5 arg form by adding another:
    <Arg type=3D"boolean">true</Arg>
