@ManagedObject("Web Application ContextHandler") public class WebAppContext extends ServletContextHandler implements WebAppClassLoader.Context
Web Application Context Handler.

The WebAppContext handler is an extension of ContextHandler that coordinates the construction and configuration of nested handlers: ConstraintSecurityHandler, SessionHandler and ServletHandler. The handlers are configured by pluggable configuration classes, with the default being WebXmlConfiguration and JettyWebXmlConfiguration.
