Guide to Install Continuum on Jetty

Instructions for installing, deploying, configuring Continuum for Jetty. Tested with Jetty 6.1.5.

Sections:

Datasource Configuration

  • Create a JDBC resource named 'jdbc/continuum'
  • Create a JDBC resource named 'jdbc/users'

    For derby you can copy the following configuration in your $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml

    For other databases see PostgreSQL and MySQL

Install Continuum

To Install Continuum, you'll need the Continuum war.

Copy or extract the Continuum war into $JETTY_HOME/webapps-plus/

Start Jetty

To start Jetty, you'll need to use $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml and $JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty-plus.xml due to the datasources and mail configuration.

Continuum Configuration

By default, the 'working directory' and the 'build output directory' are stored under the WEB-INF directory. If you want to change them (necessary on Windows due to the path length limitation), you can configure them in the Configuration page.
