            - - org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Handler, HandlerContainer, Server.Graceful, Attributes, Destroyable, Dumpable, LifeCycle
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    MovedContextHandler, ServletContextHandler

      public class ContextHandler
      extends ScopedHandler
      implements Attributes, Server.Graceful

  ContextHandler. This handler wraps a call to handle by setting the context and servlet path, plus setting the context classloader.

  If the context init parameter "org.eclipse.jetty.server.context.ManagedAttributes" is set to a comma separated list of names, then they are treated as context attribute names, which if set as attributes are passed to the servers Container so that they may be managed with JMX.

  The maximum size of a form that can be processed by this context is controlled by the system properties org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormKeys and org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize. These can also be configured with `setMaxFormContentSize(int)` and `setMaxFormKeys(int)`

    - #### MANAGED_ATTRIBUTES

          public static final String MANAGED_ATTRIBUTES

      If a context attribute with this name is set, it is interpreted as a comma separated list of attribute name. Any other context attributes that are set with a name from this list will result in a call to `setManagedAttribute(String, Object)`, which typically initiates the creation of a JMX MBean for the attribute value.
