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);
