Package: jetty8
Version: 8.1.3-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I think some files are missing from jetty8 package.
First of all, the official Jetty documentation talks about a context deployer
which monitors the ${jetty.home}/contexts directory to hot deploy webapps
configured using appropriate xml files. The jetty8 Debian package provides such
a directory in etc/jetty8/contexts, also providing an example javadoc.xml file
which should allow to deploy the Jetty javadoc provided by libjetty8-java-doc
package. However, there's no jetty-*.xml file in /etc/jetty8 which configures
the ContextDeployer (or rather the ContextProvider, see below).
The provided file /etc/jetty8/contexts/README.TXT says that the ContextDeployer
is configured in jetty.xml configuration file, but if you look at the contents
of this file you'll see this is not the case. Also, if you start jetty8 with
all the default contents, a welcome page is displayed which points to the
javadoc, but this link does not work at all (even if you install
libjetty8-java-doc) because the ContextDeployer is not actually configured.
/etc/jetty8/jetty-plus.xml also says ContextDeployer is configured in jetty.xml.
/ety/jetty8/jetty-shared-webapps.xml configures just the WebAppDeployer,
although a comment says: "see ContextDeployer above"... but it's not there,
either.
Also, reading the offical Jetty 8 documentation at
http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/stable-8/apidocs, you'll see that
WebAppProvider and ContextProvider should be used rather than WebAppDeployer
and ContextDeployer, which are old and deprecated. So I would expect the Debian
package to use the new classes, just like the official Jetty distribution ZIP
file does (I checked that this was the case even in the old 8.1.3 distribution
package, so it's not an issue with the old Jetty version packaged in Debian).
Another little error I saw is again in /etc/jetty8/jetty-shared-webapps.xml:
the starting comment says that it configures Jetty to deploy webapps in
/usr/share/java/webapps, but it should actually say /usr/share/jetty8/webapps.
Lastly, the libsetuid.so for Jetty 8 is missing, because there isn't any
package corresponding to libjetty-extra used for Jetty 6.
