I have tried to run CAS webapp such as an executable WAR, and initially I found out two possible solutions. But there would be a better solution for this?

1) Creating a main class to start a Jetty embedded server and the CAS war file to run;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.tomcat.InstanceManager;
import org.apache.tomcat.SimpleInstanceManager;
import org.eclipse.jetty.annotations.ServletContainerInitializersStarter;
import org.eclipse.jetty.apache.jsp.JettyJasperInitializer;
import org.eclipse.jetty.plus.annotation.ContainerInitializer;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server;
import org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext;
import org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource;

public class CasServerEmbedded {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        // Create the server
        Server server = new Server(8080);

        // Enable parsing of jndi-related parts of web.xml and jetty-env.xml
        org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.Configuration.ClassList classlist = org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.Configuration.ClassList
                .setServerDefault(server);
        classlist.addAfter("org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.FragmentConfiguration",
                "org.eclipse.jetty.plus.webapp.EnvConfiguration", "org.eclipse.jetty.plus.webapp.PlusConfiguration");

        // Create a WebApp
        final WebAppContext webAppContext = new WebAppContext();
        webAppContext.setAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir", getScratchDir());
        webAppContext.setAttribute("org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern",
                ".*/[^/]*servlet-api-[^/]*\\.jar$|.*/javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-.*\\.jar$|.*/.*taglibs.*\\.jar$");
        webAppContext.setAttribute("org.eclipse.jetty.containerInitializers", jspInitializers());
        webAppContext.setAttribute(InstanceManager.class.getName(), new SimpleInstanceManager());
        webAppContext.addBean(new ServletContainerInitializersStarter(webAppContext), true);
        webAppContext.setWar("C:\\temp\\cas-server-webapp-4.2.1.war");
        server.setHandler(webAppContext);

        final JdbcDataSource jdbcDataSource = new JdbcDataSource();
        jdbcDataSource.setURL("jdbc:h2:c:\\temp\\teste;mv_store=false");
        jdbcDataSource.setUser("sa");
        jdbcDataSource.setPassword("sa");
        jdbcDataSource.getConnection();

        new org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource(webAppContext, "jdbc/mydatasource", jdbcDataSource);

        server.start();
        server.join();
    }

    /**
     * Establish Scratch directory for the servlet context (used by JSP
     * compilation)
     */
    private static File getScratchDir() throws IOException {
        File tempDir = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));
        File scratchDir = new File(tempDir.toString(), "embedded-jetty-jsp");

        if (!scratchDir.exists()) {
            if (!scratchDir.mkdirs()) {
                throw new IOException("Unable to create scratch directory: " + scratchDir);
            }
        }
        return scratchDir;
    }

    /**
     * Ensure the jsp engine is initialized correctly
     */
    private static List<ContainerInitializer> jspInitializers() {
        JettyJasperInitializer sci = new JettyJasperInitializer();
        ContainerInitializer initializer = new ContainerInitializer(sci, null);
        List<ContainerInitializer> initializers = new ArrayList<ContainerInitializer>();
        initializers.add(initializer);
        return initializers;
    }
}

2) Using Maven I can execute the goal jetty:run-war, which starts the WAR overlay inside Jetty embedded server.

    </build>
</project>

As you can see, both solutions start CAS into a standalone web server, but what I am trying to reach is something what Jenkins does, a WAR file which can be started by a simple command line: java -jar CAS.war

Is there any way to export that Maven build in a WAR file running via Jetty embedded?

Tks,

This behavior is automatically provided by CAS v5 and Spring Boot. Do not re-invent the wheel.
