Jetty 6 and JNDI

This example shows how to configure and lookup resources such as DataSources, a JTA transaction manager and a java.mail.Session in JNDI. The demo shows you how to perform a distributed transaction across two different databases, and how to send email.

Preparation

1. Ensure that you have installed the jars for the transaction manager of your choice in $JETTY_HOME/lib/ext. This demo has been tested with JOTM and Atomikos.
2. Make sure you have built this demo. Assuming your jetty src distro is installed at $JETTY_HOME:

     +  cd $JETTY_HOME/modules/test-jndi-webapp
     +  mvn clean install
   

3. Set up the configuration files with the transaction manager of your choice:

     +  cd $JETTY_HOME
     +  edit etc/jetty-test-jndi.xml and uncomment one of the transaction manager setups
     +  edit webapps-plus/test-jndi/WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml and uncomment one of the transaction manager setups
   

Now you can start the demo:

  > java -jar start.jar etc/jetty.xml etc/jetty-plus.xml etc/jetty-test-jndi.xml

If you want to use the Mail demonstration, you will need to edit the etc/jetty-test-jndi.xml file and change the smtp authentication information and properties appropriately for your environment.
