Jetty - Error on start - PicketLinkServletContextListener.isHttpSecurityEnabled - NullPointerException

I'm trying to start Jetty with my Webapp, but I'm facing a strange error.

Facts:

• I'm using IntelliJ and starting Jetty from IDE
• My webapp produce a War
• I'm not trying to use Jetty with HTTPS
• My webapp runs on Wildfly 9.0.2 with any problem
• Log shows the loading of my caches, beans and Spring configurations.
• I hadn't change anything directly inside Jetty, just made some configurations on InteliJ
• Jetty Version: 9.4.0v20161208
• I have this Jetty modules activated:
  1. home-base-warning
  2. ext
  3. server
  4. jsp
  5. resources
  6. deploy
  7. jstl
  8. websocket
  9. http
  10. plus
  11. jndi
  12. client
  13. logging-jetty
• I have a database drivers for H2, Teradata and MSSQL in my /ext folder
• After the exception shown below, there is another strange error related with HTTP parse. Please, look at the end of the log.

Do you have any idea of how to solve it?

Do you need any further information? Please, let me know.

Answer 1

PicketLink uses CDI.

Jetty does not ship with CDI support.

You'll have to install Weld/CDI into your webapp for CDI support in Jetty.
