[Springframework-developer] HttpServletBean remark

[Steven D. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm using an Eclipse plugin called Jetty Launcher (details:
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links+index-req-viewlink-cid-211.html).

You have to feed it a war file and it starts a Jetty instance from
within Eclipse which allows debugging of your code.

This plugin apparently sets a init parameter in the background called
classpath on every servlet in your web.xml. This obviously turns
DispatcherServlet wild since it doesn't have a classpath property. It
also drove me crazy, I had to search for over an hour to solve this
very wierd exception: DispatcherServlet doesn't have classpath
property.

Would it be possible to handle unknown properties a bit more gently,
maybe by logging a warning or something? I solved the problem by
extending DispatcherServlet and adding a classpath property but may
not always be possible.

Thanks

Steven
