Jetty allows for deploying an arbitrary context or web application by monitoring a directory for changes. If a web application or a context descriptor is added to the directory, Jetty’s DeploymentManager (DM) deploys a new context. If a context descriptor is touched or updated, the DM stops, reconfigures, and redeploys its context. If a context is removed, the DM stops it and removes it from the server.
This behavior can be controlled by configuring WebAppProvider
properties.

disables the continuous hot deployment scan, Web Applications will be deployed on startup only.The default location for this configuration is in the ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-deploy.xml
file.
