java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when I run jetty

Question

I try to run a deployment of an app with jetty 9.4.8. It is an angular java maven multi module app

Here is my web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I expose the CDI bean manager through JNDI by creating jetty-env.xml under WEB-INF (http://www.agorava.org/news/2012/07/10/Starting-a-CDI-webapp-from-Maven-with-Weld-servlet-and-jetty-plugin/)

<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd">
<Configure id="webAppCtx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
    <New id="BeanManager" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
        <Arg>
            <Ref id="webAppCtx"/>
        </Arg>
        <Arg>BeanManager</Arg>
        <Arg>
            <New class="javax.naming.Reference">

                <Arg/>
            </New>
        </Arg>
    </New>
</Configure>

To allow Jetty to load the server Classes, I create the file jetty-web.xml under WEB-INF (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Reference/Jetty_Classloading)

<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd">
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
    <Set name="serverClasses">
        <Array type="java.lang.String">
            <Item>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler.Decorator</Item>
        </Array>
    </Set>
   <Call name="prependServerClass">
      <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.listener.IntrospectorCleaner</Arg>
   </Call>   
   <Call name="prependServerClass">
      <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.listener.ELContextCleaner</Arg>
   </Call>    
   <Call name="prependServerClass">
      <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.util.Decorator</Arg>
   </Call>
   <Call name="prependServerClass">

   </Call>
   <Call name="prependServerClass">

   </Call>
   <Call name="prependServerClass">
      <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler</Arg>
   </Call>
   <Call name="prependServerClass">
      <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler</Arg>
   </Call>
</Configure>

And when I run jetty, I have the following error message

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

Remove the <Set> against the serverClasses as it's undoing all of the existing (and required) settings for serverClasses to function properly.

Remove this section ...

<Set name="serverClasses">
    <Array type="java.lang.String">
        <Item>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler.Decorator</Item>
    </Array>
</Set>

You should limit your modifications of serverClasses to calls that prependServerClass or addServerClass to the existing list.

Examples:

<Call name="prependServerClass">
  <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler</Arg>
</Call>
<!-- or -->
<Call name="addServerClass">
  <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler</Arg>
</Call>
