Description

Currently, HttpService configures Jetty in such a way that it catches and ignores any exceptions thrown during web app startup.

We would like addWebApplication() to propagate any exception thrown during startup, perhaps configured per startup request.

Any of these alternatives (and likely others) will suffice:

• Configure Jetty to always propagate startup exceptions.
• Configure Jetty to propagate startup exceptions by default, offering a way to ignore them.
• Configure Jetty to propagate startup exceptions for a single invocation of addWebApplication(), perhaps through a parameter.
