I have all the dependencies in place also I have included the jetty-ee8-plus.jar (org.eclipse.jetty.ee8:jetty-ee8-plus) dependency as well. Still I am facing the issue of classnotfound exception.

Also server fails to start after continuous message ".State (now): INIT StateLifeCycleListener@4dfe8b37" on console .

Below is my jta.xml,

ee8

<New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
	<Arg></Arg>
	<Arg>java:/TransactionManager</Arg>
	<Arg>
		<New class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager">
		</New>
	</Arg>
</New>

Assistance in this will be great help to me to move forward.

we have solved this issue with the incorporation of below configuration,

<New id="usertx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction">
	  <Arg>ee8</Arg> <!-- Scope -->
	  <Arg>
	    <New class="javax.naming.Reference">

That looks like it's coming from start.jar, as I can see XmlConfiguration.main(XmlConfiguration.java:2009) in that stack.

You cannot reference ee# classes (eg: org.eclipse.jetty.ee8.plus.jndi.Transaction) at that point in time, as those classes are only available to that specific environment.

Transaction entries are typically setup in the webapps directory, associated with that specific webapp.

Example:

Lets setup a fresh jetty.base with the ee8-demos

$ mkdir demos-12
$ cd demos-12
$ java -jar /path/to/jetty-home-12.0.19/start.jar --add-modules=http,ee8-demos
...(snip lots of output)...
$ grep -RHin Transaction *
webapps/ee8-demo-spec.xml:10:  <New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction">
webapps/ee8-demo-spec.xml:13:      <New class="org.example.MockUserTransaction" />
webapps/ee8-demo-jndi.xml:8:  <New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction">
webapps/ee8-demo-jndi.xml:11:      <New class="org.example.MockUserTransaction" />
$ cat webapps/ee8-demo-spec.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "https://jetty.org/configure_10_0.dtd">

<Configure id="wac" class="org.eclipse.jetty.ee8.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="contextPath">/ee8-test-spec</Set>
  <Set name="war"><Property name="jetty.webapps" />/ee8-demo-spec.war
  </Set>
  <Set name="configurationDiscovered">true</Set>

  <New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction">
    <Arg><Property name="environment" default="ee"/></Arg>
    <Arg>
      <New class="org.example.MockUserTransaction" />
    </Arg>
  </New>

  <New id="maxAmount" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.EnvEntry">
    <Arg>
      <Ref refid='wac' />
    </Arg>
    <Arg>maxAmount</Arg>
    <Arg type="java.lang.Double">100</Arg>
    <Arg type="boolean">true</Arg>
  </New>

  <New id="mydatasource" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
    <Arg><Ref refid='wac'/></Arg>
    <Arg>jdbc/mydatasource</Arg>
    <Arg>
     <New class="org.example.MockDataSource">
     </New>
    </Arg>
   </New>
</Configure>

There are changes coming to deploy in Jetty 12.1.0 to allow for ${jetty.base}/environments/<env-name>.xml to setup environment specific entries for all webapps deployed to that environment.

@joakime when I change the jta.xml file as below i.e. using the org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction class ,

<New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
	<Arg></Arg>
	<Arg>java:/TransactionManager</Arg>
	<Arg>
		<New class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager">
		</New>
	</Arg>
</New>

at that time I am getting below exception,

2025-04-24 18:50:19.714:WARN :oejx.XmlConfiguration:main: Config error java.lang.IllegalStateException: No suitable constructor: |???<New class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionImp"/>|?? on oejs.Server@32bb7ed1{STOPPED}[12.0.17,sto=0] at |???|?? in file:////Project/ProjectDir/project-base/etc/jta.xml

Caused by:

I understand the reason is the constructor of the Transaction class is having 2 parameter (Scope and Reference) and I guess due to that it is not able to recognise the parameter com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager, as it is expecting Reference.

Here I am not able to understand how I can pass this UserTransactionManager as a Reference object to the Transaction constructor.

Here's an example, with a mocked up transaction class from the jetty ee8 demos:

  <New id="tx" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Transaction">
    <Arg><Property name="environment" default="ee8"/></Arg>
    <Arg>
      <New class="org.example.MockUserTransaction" />
    </Arg>
  </New>
