title: Can't deploy external app to jetty 9.0.6.v20130930
body: <p>When I'm deploying my app by copying it inside jetty/webapps it deploys ok. But I want to deploy it from external directory. For that I've created following  myconf.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
  &lt;!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure_9_0.dtd"&gt;
  
  &lt;Configure id="myapp" class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"&gt;
      &lt;Set name="server"&gt;
          &lt;Ref refid="Server" /&gt;
      &lt;/Set&gt;
      &lt;Set name="contextPath"&gt;/myapp&lt;/Set&gt;
      &lt;Set name="war"&gt;
          &lt;SystemProperty name="myapp.war" /&gt;&lt;!-- points to the external war --&gt;
      &lt;/Set&gt;
  &lt;/Configure&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then jetty is ran with:</p>
  
  <p>java  -XX:-UseSplitVerifier  -jar start.jar myconf.xml. </p>
  
  <p>In the console I see that application is being deployed, it accesses db etc, but when I try to reach it I got 404. Any help is highly appreciated :)</p>
  
  <p>Best regards, Eugene. </p>
