mssql-ds.xml vs mssql-xa-ds.xml

[chalakanth]

We are implementing JTA transactions over an SQLServer database.

I am confused about the name of the file used to define data sources. Do I have to define local-tx-datasources in mssql-ds.xml, and xa-datasources in mssql-xa-ds.xml?

The test we did indicated that the name of the file does not matter - we put everything in mssql-ds. I would really appreciate it if someone confirmed this.

thanks.

You obviously never read "Alice through the looking glass".

I've never read the book, but I looked up Humpty Dumpty this morning.

http://www.sabian.org/Alice/lgchap06.htm

Alice mumbles "of all the unsatisfactory people I ever met ..." as she walks away from Humpty Dumpty. Summed up the way I feel sometimes when working with all this high-tech stuff.

I was referring to:

'When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ‘It means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

and

`My name is Alice, but --'

`It's a stupid name enough!' Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently. `What does it mean?'

`Must a name mean something?' Alice asked doubtfully.

"Humpty Dumpty" is a common phrase used in logic when people redefine
words to win arguments.

Like Bill Clinton's "It depends what you mean by 'it'". :-)

Or as Aristole might put it:
Look at the substance not the form.

In this case, it is the contents of the file, not its name that counts.
