replacement for GlobalWebappConfigBinding

Java Version

Question
I'm migrating an application from Jetty 9 to 12 and have some xml configurations here. The most seems to work, but I'm stuck on GlobalWebappConfigBinding. I see this is available until jetty 11 and no longer available in Jetty 12.

Can you give me a hint, how I have to replace it in Jetty 12?

here is the xml snippet I try to get to work again:

<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
  <Ref refid="DeploymentManager">
    <Call name="addLifeCycleBinding">
      <Arg>
        <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.bindings.GlobalWebappConfigBinding">
          <Set name="jettyXml"><Property name="jetty.base"/>/etc/another-web.xml</Set>
        </New>
      </Arg>
    </Call>
  </Ref>
</Configure>

@nbartels I think this type of functionality was accidentally omitted from jetty-12, let me have a look at putting something like it back in.

@nbartels can I see a (sanitized if ncessary) example of the another-web.xml that you want to apply?

[Norbert Bartels]

@janbartel sure.
