---------------------------------------------
Hi Nicholas,
I am not very sure about JETTY internal behavior.
From the tests what i understood is, when we start the HTTPServer, it is
trying to start all the contexts.
For all the contexts it is invoking the Filter inits as well.
As per your expectation, if init throws any exception, we need to rethrow it.
Here caller will be the HTTPServer start method.
Since JETTY internally handling that exceptions and failing the context
startups, we may not be able to get that exception out (i could not find the
way).
One way of getting the the failure status of contexts is, we can get the
contexts and check whether all contexts failed. if any of the context startup
failed we can throw exception.
some thing like below
At the end of HttpServer start method.
//This snippet is just for understanding the fix
{code}
Handler[] handlers = webServer.getHandlers();
for (int i = 0; i < handlers.length; i++) {
if(false == handlers[i].isRunning()){
throw new IOException("Problem starting http server");
}
}
{code}
This may leads to server (NN,JT,DN...) shutdown.
But here concern is, when we consider Jetty as standalone server with multiple
hosted applications, this solution doesn't fit.
And also consider a case where load on startup is false, this solution may not
work again.
Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.
Thanks,
Uma
