Well, you can ignore the first paragraph. The rest of my analysis turned out to be correct.
Would anyone care to see the following on a wiki? EndpointInfo ei = new EndpointInfo(); ei.setAddress(serviceFactory.getAddress()); Destination destination = df.getDestination(ei); JettyHTTPDestination jettyDestination = (JettyHTTPDestination) destination; ServerEngine engine = jettyDestination.getEngine(); Handler handler = engine.getServant(new URL(serviceFactory.getAddress())); org.mortbay.jetty.Server server = handler.getServer(); Handler serverHandler = server.getHandler(); ContextHandlerCollection contextHandlerCollection = (ContextHandlerCollection)serverHandler; HandlerList handlerList = new HandlerList(); ResourceHandler resourceHandler = new ResourceHandler(); handlerList.addHandler(resourceHandler); handlerList.addHandler(contextHandlerCollection); server.setHandler(handlerList); handlerList.start(); File staticContentFile = new File(staticContentPath); URL targetURL = new URL("file://" + staticContentFile.getCanonicalPath()); FileResource fileResource = new FileResource(targetURL); resourceHandler.setBaseResource(fileResource); > -----Original Message----- > From: Benson Margulies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 8:48 PM > To: cxf-user@incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: Getting the HTTP server off the bus > > Dan and Willem, > > It looks to me like I'm fairly nearly stuck until you let me fully > control the server wiring unless I'm willing to do some fairly extensive > rewiring of your wiring. > > The jetty doc isn't precisely helpful here, but I have reached the > following tentative view of the situation: > > As things are, the org.mortbay.jetty.Server has, as its singular > handler, a ContextHandlerCollection, which has (at least one) > ContextHandler.
