Using ServletContextListener with Jetty

Question

I want to test my ServletContextListener with embeded jetty. It calls contextDestroyed on server stop but doesnt call contextInitialized on server start. How can I fix it?

Server server = new Server(PORT);
ServletContextListener myListener = ...;
WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext();
webapp.addEventListener(myListener);
webapp.setServer(server);
server.setHandler(webapp);
server.start(); -> doesnt call myListener.contextInitialized()

server.stop();  -> call myListener.contextDestroyed()

Have you tried setting the context path (and optionally a war): `webapp.setContextPath("/"); webapp.setWar(warURL);`). If not, no context is *really* deployed — Bruno Grieder, Mar 22 '13 at 16:06
@BGR setContextPath("/") didnt help. I dont have any web.xml file. — Stan Kurilin, Mar 22 '13 at 16:09
Does it work if you define myListener in web.xml file ? i.e. use `WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext(path, "/")` instead of webapp.addeventListener — auntyellow, Nov 27 '14 at 12:07

I had a similar problem with Jetty 9.3.10

Have you tried setting extended listener types to true? If it is set to false (default), ServletContextListener implementations will not be considered in org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.Context#checkListener

    webapp.getServletContext().setExtendedListenerTypes(true);
