Setting up JNDI on Jetty

The Bamboo start up script can be customised to setup JNDI resources
Find the following section in your Bamboo.sh script. (This section specifies how the Bamboo server will start)

#
# 	This is how the Bamboo server will be started
#
RUN_CMD="java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath $CLASSPATH -Dorg.mortbay.xml.XmlParser.NotValidating=true -Djetty.port=8085 com.atlassian.bamboo.server.Server 8085 ./webapp /"

Now, modify this startup script to read the jetty.xml file from webapp/WEB-INF/classes/jetty.xml, which can be used to specify JNDI resources. Modify the RUN_CMD argument as below

You will also need to change the jetty.xml file under webapp/WEB-INF/classes by change the context path from /bamboo to /. Example of this is below:

<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<!-- Add root context web applications. -->
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<Call name="addWebApplication">
    <Arg>/</Arg>
    <Arg>
       <SystemProperty name="bamboo.webapp" default="webapp"/>
    </Arg>
</Call>

To set up the JNDI mail session, you will also need to uncomment and modify the section of this jetty.xml which looks like this:

<!--
    <Call name="addService">
        <Arg>
            ...
        </Arg>
    </Call>
-->

You will need to replace the values inside the <Arg> tags with appropriate values (username, password, host, from address).
