Grizzly Deployer got lot of activity recently over mailing list, so I took the time to give you a new feature
that been added to the release 1.9.17. The Autodeploy command.

You should see that option like a default web.xml config that will be append to all your webapps
that you will deploy. You can activate this feature by adding this param to the command line :

java -jar grizzly-http-servlet-deployer-1.9.18-SNAPSHOT.jar --autodeploy=[path]

Example : --autodeploy=/folder/autodeploy

You need to create one of more web.xml files that you will put in that folder. Each web.xml config will be append to all your webapps.
here a sample for JSP support using Jasper

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
      
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  
</web-app>

The last step is to put the required jars into the classpath.
You could put them in the command line with -cp or --classpath or you could use Deployer's param :

--libraryPath=[path]

Example : --libraryPath=/libs:/common_libs

With that you can have JSP support only if you want.
