Adding and configuring guice in a large web app on GAE

I hit the maximum url-patterns that one can have in the web.xml and I looked towards guice to offer a workaround. If I could get it to work, everything would be fine. All I want to do is set up a server so that I can re-route url-patterns to new serv Here's what the relevant parts of my web.xml look like:

    <filter>
        <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.google.inject.servlet.GuiceFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <listener>
    <listener-class>com.google.truxmap.server.guice.MyGuiceServletContextListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

And the stack trace for the error I'm receiving:

Failed startup of context com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.RuntimeAppEngineWebAppContext@1435ec9{/,/base/data/home/apps/foodtrucksmap/5.348199425225253754}

Thanks so much for the help!

It seems that you just need to resolve dependency on aopalliance library. Put aopalliance.jar into your WEB-INF/lib folder.
