jboss and spring frame work

[zhlu]

I am new to the JBoss and having questions about using Spring framework with JBoss
0. I am not using EJB.
1. Can I just deploye an existing war file with Spring Framework that works in Tomcat into the JBoss without any configuration change with exception of (data source)?
2. If not, what the minimum changes have to be made? Could someone send me a simple example that includs Spring Framework?

Thanks,

For the few Spring applications that I have put together, I did not have to make any special changes to them, simply deployed the WAR file.

If you are using a data source, you might have to add a WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml file to map the data source name.

I am guessing that you have already tried this and run into a problem. Care to share what it is?

Thank you for your info. As matter fact, I didn't have jboss-web.xml. Could you send me an example of yours?

I don't have Spring-related example, but here is one using plain servlets/JSPs. In my web.xml file I have:

<resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>ds/SomeDS</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
 </resource-ref>

and in jboss-web.xml I have:

<jboss-web>
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>ds/SomeDS</res-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>java:ds/SomeDS</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

and in my application I look up the datasource as:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ds/SomeDS");

I got the following error in the jmx console when I invoke the oracle jdbc driver:

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver Information
Not loaded in repository cache

here is my oracle-ds.xml file:

<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>cpp</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx:oralu</connection-url>
<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>x</user-name>
x
....

<type-mapping>Oracle9i</type-mapping>
