Datasource config not showing errors

[kgalligan]

I'm highly confused. I'm not exactly a beginner, but I'm having a strange non-problem. I have a datasource set up that I use for a login config. I can't log in, but there are no errors. So, I figured I'd start with the db config. I changed the password to one that it wrong. No error. Everything looks fine (still can't log in, obviously). Change the username. No problem. I even changed the driver class name. The config is TOTALLY wrong and can't possibly work, yet there is no error output. How do I get jboss to stop suppressing these messages? Could I just have a logging config issue?

Thanks in advance,
-Kevin

As another example, I grabbed the example postgresql config from the docs dir and dumped it directly in the deploy dir. Clearly a misconfigured setup, and there was no problem. Is there any way to get jboss to verify that something isn't set up correctly? This is somewhat maddening.

Thanks again

I've tracked this down a bit more. I was setting up an exploded webapp directory in the 'default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml' file. It looks like it wasn't using the login config when I did that. When I put the war file into the deploy directory, things work fine.

So, I'm going to look this up, but does anybody have a link to setting up an exploded directory? I have been working in development on a tomcat instance for a long time because I couldn't get the exploded directory to work (its all coming back to me now).

For exploded deployment, have a look at:
