title: Setup Jetty default webapp folder
body: <p>Apologies for the newbie question, I am trying to start using Jetty servlet container for a Scala/Ajax application.
  I want to change the default webapp directory to a custom one, say /home/myuser/project/ and let jetty serve the index of that page.</p>
  
  <p>a doctype, head and body is literally all I need as all the layout will be controlled via Ajax/REST/Scala with DOM generated entirely in JavaScript.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get jetty to serve a custom index.html file from a specified folder?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Jetty 9 Debian Distribution on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10, if that makes a difference in any way.</p>
