| === Automatic Web Application Deployment |
| |
| The most basic technique for deploying Web Applications is to put a WAR file or Exploded WAR directory into the `${jetty.base}/webapps/` directory and let Jetty's deployment scanner find it and deploy it under a Context path of the same name. |
| |
| Only Web Applications that follow the Web Application Layout will be detected by Jetty and deployed this way. |
| |
| The Context Path assigned to this automatic deployment is based the filename (or directory name) of the WAR. |
