Jetty/Howto/Configure JNDI Datasource

Introduction

This document provides examples of configuring a JNDI datasource for various databases.

Tip:
Read the generic JNDI instructions for background information about configuring datasources.

These examples all correspond to a <resource-ref> in web.xml:

  <resource-ref>
     <description>My DataSource Reference</description>
     <res-ref-name>jdbc/DSTest</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>

These examples assume that all of the datasources are declared at the JVM scope, but you can, of course, use other scopes. You can configure all JNDI resources in a jetty.xml file or in a WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml file, or a context XML file. For more information, see JNDI.

Pooling DataSources

Enables connection pooling. Connection pooling is basically re-using existing connections instead of creating a new connection to the database.This would be highly efficient in terms of memory allocation and speed of the request to the database. In production, this is highly recommended.

c3p0

Connection pooling, available at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/c3p0/c3p0/0.9.1.2/c3p0-0.9.1.2.jar

  <New id="DSTest" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
     <Arg></Arg>
     <Arg>jdbc/DSTest</Arg>
     <Arg>
      <New class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource">
         <Set name="driverClass">org.some.Driver</Set>
         <Set name="jdbcUrl">jdbc.url</Set>
         <Set name="user">jdbc.user</Set>
         <Set name="password">jdbc.pass</Set>
      </New>
     </Arg>
    </New>

dbcp

Connection pooling, available at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-dbcp/commons-dbcp/1.2/commons-dbcp-1.2.jar

  <New id="DSTest" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">

     <Arg>jdbc/DSTest</Arg>
     <Arg>
         <New class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
            <Set name="driverClassName">org.some.Driver</Set>
            <Set name="url">jdbc.url</Set>
            <Set name="username">jdbc.user</Set>
            <Set name="password">jdbc.pass</Set>
         </New>
     </Arg>
    </New>

Atomikos 3.3.2+

Connection pooling + XA transactions.

            </Get>

Non-pooling DataSources

If you're deploying in production environment, use the Pooling DataSources instead.
