Re: [jetty-users] Jetty-8.1.1 - JNDI DB Resource not working with jetty-

[Jamie Maher <jamie.maher@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your suggestions!
I did have my commons-dbcp-1.4.jar in the lib/ext/ folder..  no
classloading issues just config mis-configuration :)

I decided to try a few things after I read your reply:

The following two tests failed:

- Updating the list of configuration classes that you mentioned below in
the jetty.xml
- I Copied the contents of the etc/jetty-plus.xml into etc/jetty.xml eg.
array of items, then reference that in Call setAttribute


Then I tried the following, which did work:

Commented out the configuration classes I had added to jetty.xml (which
seemed like they should be added per the wiki)
and added etc/jetty-plus.xml to the start.ini below etc/jetty-ssl.xml

Suddenly it picks up the WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml config..    

I'm not sure why that method would allow it to work, but it didn't when
I copied the jetty-plus.xml contents into jetty.xml?



It might be nice for the wiki to be a little more specific under
"Setting up the list of Configurations"
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/JNDI

It doesn't really mention where the list of configurations should be
setup, only the "correct order they must be defined".

Maybe the 2nd paragraph in that wiki page should give a quick answer as
to how to enable JNDI for all webapps, then launch into the specifics of
what is going on:

eg.

> The /etc/jetty-plus.xml file contains an augmented list of

Thanks,
Jamie
