How to deploy application on JoNaS in a Docker container

Question

I am using Docker (Unix system) in order to make containers where I can deploy some web applications (made in Java). I installed and configured properly JoNaS in one of this container but I am missing something about the networking.

In fact, the thing is that I use a Jenkins job which call some Maven (maven-cargo-plugin more precisely) in order to deploy in the container (rmi:// protocol).

I guess they cannot discuss properly because the containers aren't on the same network. I am actually not allowed to change anything of the network settings so I search a solution which bypass bridges or something like that.

If they aren't any, does you guys have an idea for my problem ? I made a little draw about my configuration if you guys think I was not clear enough (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/209383DockerExp.png).

Although, sorry for my English mistakes.

It sounds like you want to expose the Cargo port from the Docker container so that Jenkins can connect to the Docker host IP on that port to get into the container. See http://docs.docker.com/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports for usage. For example, if the Cargo port was 6767, you might run the container with -p 6767:6767 which would allow Jenkins to connect to port 6767 on the Docker host IP (same network).
