Thanks - yes, I know. The old version of the web application was built using an 
older version of Grails that didn’t use Spring Boot - the WAR file contained a 
conventional web.xml and it all worked fine.

Indeed - the old version of the web application didn’t rely on Servlet 
annotations and worked with Servlet 2.5. I knew that the new version needed 
Servlet 3.0 but I hadn’t realised that I would need to enable annotation 
processing in order for Jetty to launch the new version of the web application 
correctly...

No - but I’m adding them now, which will hopefully fix the problem.

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Robert
