How to integrate Bamboo build plan with Jenkins test job?

Question

Hi

We use Bamboo On Demand to build and deploy our projects.

We also use a local Jenkins to run Selenium Webdriver tests on a deployed system.

Now, i want to be able to automate the flow:

* Build a project
* Deploy to sandbox
* Trigger Jenkins to run the tests
* Bamboo build should pass / fail according to tests results retrieved from Jenkins

Questions:

* How to trigger Jenkins ? I know i can use the script task and call Jenkins API. Any better way? 
* Once I triggered Jenkins, how Bamboo knows when test task complete? 
* How can Bamboo fetch the tests results from Jenkins? I know it have a Junit parser task, Not sure how to fetch the XML result file generated in Jenkins to Bamboo. Again, Jenkins provide API to fetch results can I use it and just parse the result my self in another bamboo script?

Thanks !

Hello,

Was there a solution for this issue to call Jenkins test job from Bamboo??

Thank you,

My test must run on Win / Mac OS. 
Last time i tried to run the tests from Bamboo itself it failed because it was impossible to use Bamboo's agent on my machines.

Can you setup the Selenium web driver tests within Bamboo itself using a command line interface?
