Question
I am currently using the following configuration in my deploy.xml file. What is the replacement for WebAppProvider and PropertiesConfigurationManager classes in Jetty 12?

<Call id="webappprovider" name="addAppProvider">
    <Arg>
        <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.WebAppProvider">
            <Set name="monitoredDirName"><SystemProperty name="esecurity" default="/"/>#</Set>
            <Set name="defaultsDescriptor"><SystemProperty name=#" default="#"/>/3rdparty/jetty/webdefault.xml</Set>
            <Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
            <Set name="extractWars">true</Set>
            <Set name="configurationManager">
                <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.PropertiesConfigurationManager">
                    <!-- file of context configuration properties
                    <Set name="file"><SystemProperty name="jetty.base"/>/etc/some.properties</Set>
                    -->
                    <!-- set a context configuration property
                    <Call name="put"><Arg>name</Arg><Arg>value</Arg></Call>
                    -->
                </New>
            </Set>
        </New>
    </Arg>
</Call>

@kavicoder45 have you seen the ee10 deployer xml file, it will help you. It's here: https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/blob/jetty-12.0.x/jetty-ee10/jetty-ee10-webapp/src/main/config/etc/jetty-ee10-deploy.xml

We are in this case of using WebAppProvider with Jetty 10.
Trying to migrate to Jetty 12 and following your link above, we are now extending org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.ContextProvider.

Then regarding this override:
@Override public ContextHandler createContextHandler(App app) throws Exception { ContextHandler contextHandler = super.createContextHandler(app);

In Jetty 10, ContextHandler could be cast to a org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.
Then with WebAppContext, we had access to setSecurityHandler(...), setInitParameter(...), getSessionHandler()...

Now in Jetty12, ContextHandler has changed and is not compatible with org.eclipse.jetty.ee8.webapp.WebAppContext.

How can I have access securityHandler, sessionHandler, initParameters from the new Jetty 12 ContextHandler object ?

@zment you are heavily customizing Jetty, so please open a new issue, and please add more details, such as:

• Why do you need to extend ContextProvider,
• Why do need to access to setSecurityHandler(...), setInitParameter(...), getSessionHandler(...), etc.?

Please answer in the new issue.
