Can't read <env-entry> from web.xml in Hosted Mode (GWT 2.3)

[Allen Holub]

Has anyone managed to successfully read an <env-entry> from web.xml in Hosted Mode (using Jetty). I believe that it's actually possible, but I sure can't get it to work. If you've worked through this issue, and could provide step-by-step instructions for what I need to do, I'd be eternally grateful.

Please don't suggest that I use -noserver and abandon Hosted Mode entirely. I don't think that's necessary.
