How to migrate a tomcat webapp to jetty

Question

I have the following host entry in my server.xml for tomcat

<Host name="app.andrewbucknell.com" appBase="webapps"
       unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
       xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
  <Context path="" docBase="app" debug="5"/>
  <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
         prefix="app_access_log." suffix=".txt"
         pattern="common"/>
  <Resource name="jdbc/appDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
               maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
               username="appuser" password="apppass" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
               url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/appDB"/>
</Host>

I am trying to move to Jetty but cant figure out where to put the resource declaration.

What I want is for the resource declaration to wind up being server specific rather than app specific. Any suggestions?

Not an expert of jetty, but from their documentation page you could achieve what you want by creating a jetty.xml or WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml file and define the datasource in it as follows:

<New id="jdbc/appDB" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
 <Arg></Arg>
 <Arg>jdbc/appDB</Arg>
 <Arg>
    <New class="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver">
       <Set name="Url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/appDB</Set>
       <Set name="User">appuser</Set>
       <Set name="Password">apppass</Set>
    </New>
 </Arg>
</New>
