Deploying servlets webapp in embedded undertow

Question

Is there any easy way to deploy a servlets web application with undertow embbeded?

For example, with jetty, I can deploy like this:

    Server server = new Server(8080);
    WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
    context.setContextPath("/");
    context.setDescriptor("src/main/webapp/web.xml");
    context.setResourceBase("src/main/webapp/");
    server.setHandler(context);
    server.start();

Is there a similar way of doing this with undertow? I saw a example here: https://github.com/undertow-io/undertow/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/io/undertow/examples/servlet/ServletServer.java, but it's not exaclty what I want, it registers the servlets one by one...

Not at the moment.

Undertow just provides a builder API, that another application can use to build up a Servlet. This was a deliberate design choice as it gives the embedding application full control of the deployment.

We may eventually add support for this in a different module (most likely by ripping the relevant code out of Wildfly), but it is not high on the priority list at the moment.

Thanks! Can you point me the code from wildfly that bootstrap a web application? I found this [class](https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/undertow/src/main/java/org/wildfly/extension/undertow/deployment/UndertowDeploymentProcessor.java) but I think that's not the right class or I simply could not understand it :D – Chico Sokol Mar 11 '14 at 17:04
You did found the right class. most of the work is happening in UndertowDeploymentProcessor and https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/undertow/src/main/java/org/wildfly/extension/undertow/deployment/UndertowDeploymentInfoService.java Also you should take into account that descriptor(web.xml & friends) parsing is done by jboss metadata project https://github.com/jboss/metadata – Tomaz Cerar Apr 10 '14 at 22:48

Any update on supporting standard war file deployment i.e., as a replacement for Tomcat (just Tomcat features)? – manikanta Jan 03 '15 at 05:43

I think the new wildfly swarm project provides a good workaround for that as you can deploy any webapp just with the undertow module picked from wildfly and packaged in a single fat jar. A good example is here: https://github.com/wildfly-swarm/wildfly-swarm-examples/tree/master/servlet
