Connect JBOSS with SAP (JCo)

[wuschelz]

Hi Folks,

we will migrate from tomcat to jboss.
In our old environment there is a class that implements a JCo Client that was referenrenced in context.xml (e.g. <ressource-name>jco/) on tomcat. In the lib folder there is also the sapjco.jar.

Now i was wondering how to put this over to Jboss.
I copied sapjco.jar and the Client Implementation jar to the lib folder.
Then i tried with the examples sapr3-ds.xml but didn't came to a solution. I also wasn't able to reference our JCo Client implementation.

Can you give me some hints or clearify how to deploy a connection to sap? Do i need the JCo Client anymore? Is this connection transparent to the applications using JCo? Can i give a custom JNDI Name in my Ressource Adaptor (all examples show somthing like eis/)
Is it a Datasource or a Connetion Factory what i want to configure?

All comments are appreciated because after trying some things i'am completly puzzled......

regards
wuschelz

The Tomcat does not know how to deploy the RAR.
With Jboss you will need to follow this
1) Get the appropriate RAR for the SAP, I don't see you are doing this.
2) Configure the -ds.xml file which will define the connection-factory in case you have outbound RAR deployed which seems to be your need.
