jetty-context.xml
file in theirWEB-INF
directory in order for Alpine to discover them.Since Alpine applications do not directly depend on
alpine-executable-war
, and thus do usually not have access to Jetty classes, the Jetty-native XML configuration was preferred over programmatic customization.Example
jetty-context.xml
