Jason,
I just did a quick test on raw jetty, and a filter at /* certainly is
getting applied to a webapp that is registered at /
If I register the webapp at /blah then the filter also gets called
for http://localhost:8080/blah requests.
Can you use the JMX interface to turn on Jetty
Really... that is odd. Are you testing on your latest CVS?
I have been using the version in JBoss CVS HEAD using the SiteMesh filter
(http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/) and I could only get it to apply the
decorator to http://localhost:8080/index.jsp it would show the raw content
page
