This directory is scanned by the ContextDeployer instance configured by the standard $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml configuration. It should contain XmlConfiguration files that describe individual contexts to be deployed to the server. This directory is scanned for additions, removals and updates for hot deployment. Frequenty the context configuration files here will reference war files or directories from $JETTY_HOME/webapps. Care must be taken to avoid a WebAppDeployer deploying duplicates of such webapplications. The directory ../contexts-available contains more example contexts that may be deployed by being copied here.
