Wicket servlet and filter in an embedded Jetty

Wicket servlet and filter in an embedded Jetty

To get the effect of the following (from WEB-INF/web.xml) in an embedded Jetty server,

<filter>
  <filter-name>wicket.wicket</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WicketFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>applicationClassName</param-name>
    <param-value>cz.dw.test.WicketApplication</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

you can use this code:

public class RunInJetty {

        public static void main( String[] args ){

                Server server = new Server(8080);
                Context root = new Context( server, "/", Context.SESSIONS );


                ServletHolder servletHolder = new ServletHolder(new WicketServlet());
                servletHolder.setInitParameter("applicationClassName", cz.dw.test.WicketApplication.class.getName() );
                root.addServlet( servletHolder, "/*" );
                /**/

                /*/
                FilterHolder filterHolder = new FilterHolder( new WicketFilter() );
                filterHolder.setInitParameter("applicationClassName", cz.dw.test.WicketApplication.class.getName() );
                root.addFilter( filterHolder, "/*" , Handler.ALL );
                /**/

                try {
                        server.start();
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                        ex.printStackTrace();
                }

        }

}// class

The filter does not work – I don't know why. Also note that this way to add filters is deprecated in Jetty 7.
