I have been working with Jetty for a week and I have Maven handling the management. I have been successfully getting my program to run and work on my local computer, but when I try to deploy the app to a server, I keep getting this issue after running the command:
java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar

My webdefault is located in usr/share/jetty9/etc folder, but it keeps looking in java and I have looking into the xml files there, trying to find a way to redirect the location so that it does not look into /usr/share/java/etc/. Thank you
Your jetty installation is broken. Uninstall it and download an official tar ball instead.
After starting the server and you see it running, you should be able to deploy your war file
