Deploying a datasource to the Global JNDI Namespace

[rberland]

Does anyone know how to deploy (or configure) a datasource that is available on the Global JNDI Namespace?

I can configure a datasource which is present in the java: Namespace, no problem.

But you see, I'd like to be able to lookup the datasource from an external client (not within an EJB)

Thanks in anticipation

I read the chapter about naming in JBoss. Isn't it simply a matter of not specifying java: when you configure the datasource?

For example, take the db2-service.xml from the docs/examples/jca directory.

I have answered this question so many times :-)

Database connections aren't serializable, you can't
send them to a client. Construct your pool on the client.
