    Override Default Datasource in Entity EJBs

    afranken

      I have set up a default oracle datasource. I have an ejb I want to deploy but I want it to override the oracle datasource and connect to MS SQLSERVER.

      I cannot get it to look at MS SQLSERVER. When EJB is deployed, a table in created in oracle.
      Any help is greatly appreciated.

      In my META-INF/jboss.xml


      <enterprise-beans>

      <ejb-name>AcctAccessMatrix</ejb-name>
      <jndi-name>AcctAccessMatrix</jndi-name>
      <resource-ref>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/msSQL7EJBPool</res-ref-name>
      <jndi-name>java:/msSQL7EJBPool</jndi-name>
      </resource-ref>

      </enterprise-beans>


      In my ejb-jar.xml

      <enterprise-beans>


      <ejb-name>AcctAccessMatrix</ejb-name>
      ......
      ......
      <resource-ref>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/msSQL7EJBPool</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
      <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
      </resource-ref>

      </enterprise-beans>

          Try using the local resource reference tags instead.

            Could you be more specific... I know of only local-jndi-name and ejb-local-ref.

            My bean is using EJB 1. so it has only a remote component interface.

            Can you think of anything else I am not doing correctly?

            Do I need the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml?
            I have included it as well inside META-INF.
            It looks like...

            <jbosscmp-jdbc>
            <enterprise-beans>

            <ejb-name>AcctAccessMatrix</ejb-name>
            java:/msSQL7EJBPool
            <datasource-mapping>MS SQLSERVER</datasource-mapping>
            true
            <create-table>false</create-table>
            <remove-table>false</remove-table>
            <read-only>false</read-only>
            <time-out>300</time-out>
            <select-for-update>false</select-for-update>
            <pk-constraint>true</pk-constraint>
            <read-ahead>true</read-ahead>
            <table-name>AcctAccessMatrix2</table-name>

            <entity-command name="mssql-fetch-key"/>


            <type-mapping>
            MS SQLSERVER
            .......
            .......
            </type-mapping>

            </enterprise-beans>
            </jbosscmp-jdbc>

            Thanks.

              I put some random text into META-INF/jbosscmp-jdbc.xml and no parsing errors occured.

              I don't believe jboss is looking at that file...

              ??

              • 4. Re: Override Default Datasource in Entity EJBs

                The jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file is only required for CMP Entities.

                It sounds like what you're trying to do is lookup a datasource from java:comp/env namespace.

                  Sorry, I meant resource-env-ref previously.

                    I am trying to deplay a CMP Entity Bean and when deployed, jboss is ignoring the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml.

                    No parsing errors occur. ??

                    • 7. Re: Override Default Datasource in Entity EJBs

                      Then you don't need to declare the resource references to your datasource in ejb-jar.xml.

                      Post your full deployment descriptors and explain what you're trying to do.

                        Below are the files that are location in META-INF/
                        In conf/standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml and standardjaws.xml I define the default datasource to use Oracle mappings.

                        In my CMP Entity EJB I want to specify in the descriptor to override the default datasource and use a SQLSERVER datasource.
                        Every thing I have tried ends up using the default oracle datasource.

                        I don't believe jboss is reading my jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file because no parser errors occur. Not sure what I am not doing right.

                        Thanks..

                          I'm not sure how the CMP engine behaves when you declare your DTD as version 1.1. It would make sense to me it won't use the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file in that case since it's a configuration file specific to CMP 2.0 engine. But you'd have to ask on the Persistence forum to be certain.

                          However, try declaring the version 2.0 of the DTD for your entity and then in the version tag specify your CMP version as 1.x. The 2.0 DTD should force the use of CMP 2.0 engine at least which is the one that reads the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file.
