Configuring Grizzly with a web.xml - jersey

Question

I can start grizzly and deploy Jersey webservices on it with the following lines.
protected HttpServer create() throws Throwable {
ResourceConfig rc = new PackagesResourceConfig("com.resource", "com.provider");
HttpServer server = GrizzlyServerFactory.createHttpServer(uri, rc);
return server;
}
But is there a way to load a web.xml instead of a ResourceConfig?
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.resource, com.provider</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Answer 1

It seems that there is currently no direct way to configure grizzly with a web.xml. However I have used a partial solution that may be a beginning.
web.xml
First to understand the solution, we must understand what is the meaning of using a web.xml. It is basically use for configure your web application (see this answer for a more detail). In this case we are configuring init-params for the servlet.
The (partial) solution
Instead of using the web.xml and instead of using ResouceConfig.class, we can use Grizzly as our servlet and initializing the parameters.
For example
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.resource, com.provider</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
would give something like :
protected HttpServer create() throws Throwable {
HashMap<String, String> initParams = new HashMap<>();
//ServerProperties.PROVIDER_PACKAGES is equal to "jersey.config.server.provider.packages"
initParams.put(ServerProperties.PROVIDER_PACKAGES, "com.resource,com.provider");
//Make sure to end the URI with a forward slash
HttpServer server = GrizzlyWebContainerFactory.create("http://localhost:8080/", initParams);
return server;
}
With this, we can therefore put all the init-params that we want to.
However this solution cannot replace a whole web.xml.
