Hello This is strange, because the error is caused by org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.jsr356.server.deploy.WebSocketServerContainerInitializer, and not by your listener...
Also Pax Web has integration tests that use websockets with Jetty and this scenario was verified. Please create a GitHub issue - it'd be great checking some reproducer. kind regards Grzegorz Grzybek czw., 29 sty 2026 o 15:54 'Richard Hierlmeier' via OPS4J < [email protected]> napisaĆ(a): > > Is it possible to defined a ServletContextListener with HTTP whiteboard?
