Get maven-jetty plugin to deploy war and serve external static content at the same time

I am writing integration tests for a web application using the maven-jetty plugin. I am using the war deployment target in the pre-integration phase. The web app depends on another web app that I would like to mock by showing static content from the same jetty instance.

here is the relevant part of my jetty config:

<execution>
    <id>start-jetty</id>
    <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>deploy-war</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
        <connectors>
            <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
                <port>${jetty.port}</port>
            </connector>
        </connectors>
        <daemon>true</daemon>
        <webApp>${build.directory}/motown2-war.war</webApp>
        <webAppConfig>
            <extraClasspath>${basedir}/target/classes/;${basedir}/target/test-classes</extraClasspath>
            <contextPath>/${context.path}</contextPath>
        </webAppConfig>
        <contextHandlers>           
            <contextHandler implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
                <contextPath>/other</contextPath>
                <resourceBase>/opt/data</resourceBase>
            </contextHandler>
        </contextHandlers>
    </configuration>
</execution>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I based this configuration on http://blog.markfeeney.com/2009/12/scala-lift-jetty-6-static-content-and.html , but the configurations for the context handler seem to be ignored. I can't find a trace of this in the log files, jetty is returning 404 instead of static content, web app is running.

What am I missing?
