help with jboss.xml resource-manager

[mjremijan]

Hi,

I am trying to user jboss.xml to define a resource manager instead of defining it in standardjboss.xml. I define a datasource that deploys to java:/TaskDS. In my code, I want to use java:comp/env/jdbc/TaskDS. If I put the following inside of standard.jboss.xml, everything works:

<resource-managers>
<resource-manager res-class="org.jboss.ejb.deployment.JDBCResource">
<res-name>jdbc/TaskDS</res-name>
<res-jndi-name>java:/TaskDS</res-jndi-name>
</resource-manager>
</resource-managers>

However, If I put this inside of jboss.xml (and have jboss.xml in the META-INF directory next to ejb-jar.xml) it doesnt' work. Here is my jboss.xml


<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>TaskGroupServicesHome</ejb-name>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/TaskDS</res-ref-name>
<resource-name>TaskDataSource</resource-name>
</resource-ref>


<resource-managers>
<resource-manager>
<res-name>TaskDataSource</res-name>
<res-jndi-name>java:/TaskDS</res-jndi-name>
</resource-manager>
</resource-managers>
</enterprise-beans>


Any suggestions?

Define "does not work"

Have you used jndiview on the management
console to check jndi.

I don't recognise the class name.

Do you have the resource-ref in ejb-jar.xml?

I tried with and without the classname, and it didn't have any effect. "does not work" is defined as the jndi lookup not getting the correct datasource. I believe it is getting the default datasource becasue the sql statement does run but the codes throws an sql exception saying the table does not exist.

I know it's not a database problem, or a database user problem, or a permission problem because when I take the <resource-manager> tag out of the jboss.xml file and put it into the conf/standardjboss.xml file, then I get the expected datasource and the query succeeds.

What does jndi view say is binding

Use http://localhost:8080/jmx-console
and look for the jndiview mbean.
