lein-jetty

A leiningen plugin that launches a jetty servlet container with support for jndi datasources.

Usage

This project should be using in conjunction with leiningen-war.

First, include the following dev-dependencies in your project.clj:

:dev-dependencies [[com.mefesto/lein-jetty "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"]
                   [uk.org.alienscience/leiningen-war "0.0.12"]
                   [postgresql/postgresql "8.4-702.jdbc4"]]

Substitute the postgresql dependency for which ever database you're using.

Next, configure some of lein-jetty's options in your project.clj:

:jetty {:context-path "/testapp"
        :datasource {:name "jdbc/DefaultDS" ; be sure this is in your web.xml
                     :driver-class-name "org.postgresql.Driver"
                     :url "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testapp"
                     :username "testapp"
                     :password "testapp"}}

Declare your datasource in your web.xml file:

<web-app>
  ...
  <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/DefaultDS</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>
  ...
</web-app>

Now, assuming your web project is setup according to leiningen-war docs you should be able to launch jetty:

$ lein jetty

For better or worse jsp support is included. :-\

TODO

Expand this to support other jndi resources such as:

• env-entry
• resource-ref
• resource-env-ref
• others?
