Answer 1

Caused by: hudson.remoting.ProxyException: com.cloudbees.api.BeesClientException: Server.InternalError - Invalid WEB-INF/cloudbees-web.xml: resource

Your cloudbees-web.xml doesn't follow the correct format.

See http://wiki.cloudbees.com/bin/view/RUN/CloudBeesWebXml - as the cloudbees-web.xml needs to be wrapped in an outer <cloudbees-web-app> element

Answer 2

You also don't have to use cloudbees-web.xml if you don't want - if you bind your app to a DB it will make it available as a named datasource automatically.

(see bees app:bind command).

You only have to do this once - and then the app will know about the datasource.

and

(sorry, still working on docs).
