Jetty 9.3.22.v20171030

[Joseph Fischetti]

I'm currently working on a new deployment and I'm planning to use Jetty instead of tomcat per the project's recommendation (our production system right now uses apache/tomcat). Using the documentation from the site [1] I downloaded the newest stable Jetty 9.3 (9.3.22.v20171030) release and have a fresh shibboleth-idp installation. Jetty starts but fails to load the war file. The errors are below [2].

The same configuration with Jetty 9.3.21.v20170918 (from [3])starts fine.

I have /opt/jetty configured as a sym link to either jetty version, so it's easy for me to switch back and forth to reproduce.

I've spent some time searching, but I don't see this mentioned anywhere else. I don't think it's user error, but there's always that potential.
