Yeah this is great stuff, and my question re Jetty was along the lines of “if it’s this easy with Tomcat (which isn’t really designed for embeddability), I wonder how easy it’d be with something that is?”.

I put this together to deploy a legacy web app which was written for Tomcat 5.5 specifically and which I strongly suspect won’t run under Jetty, though I haven’t confirmed that yet.

More than anything, this excercise was an eye-opening one, since when I wrote it, I was managing my classpath by hand, literally launching clojure with a tremendously long -classpath flag that I was keeping in a script and editing by hand. I’ve since migrated to lein to manage my dependencies and classpath. It was interesting to find that there is another way.
