deploying a jdbc driver with the application ear ???

[c_eric_ray]

Is is possible to bundle the jdbc driver with the ear file and make it module dependency in the application.xml file.

Right now I deploy my *-ds.xml file with the application but the jdbc library has to be in {jboss_home}/server/default/deploy in order for the datasource to load.

When I move the jdbc driver library from the deploy directory and bundle it with the ear file to deploy with the application, then the datasource cannot be bound.

Is this correct behaviour or am I doing it wrong?

Have a look at this:

This is generally something you do not want to do :-)
