jaws.xml datasource ignored!?

[dnoyeb]

I am using mysql and JBoss 3.x.

The problem is I can only have 1 datasource. Whatever is in

standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml
and
standardjaws.xml

is what JBOSS is using, regardless to what I put in jaws.xml in my jarfile.

Plus what if I wanted different CMP EJBs in different databases? Its only allowing one datasource so I am stuck.

This is CMP so I am not getting the database myself. Point is, jaws.xml datasource is being ignored.

Test2DS is not even being attempted. it sticks with what I put in the files listed above TestDS. No errors are indicated.

jaws.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jaws PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JAWS 2.4//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jaws_2_4.dtd">

does my manifest file have to contain anything related to the jaws.xml file? does it have to be listed inside?

[dnoyeb]

the problem was with xdoclet. Or rather with me.



Without that last line the version defaults to 2.4. And with 2.4 xdoclet does not generate a

jbosscmp-jdbc.xml

file to go in my jar. With that file added all is well!!!

So for all those who have problems configuring JBoss with mySQL using xdoclet and CMP for a datasource other than DefaultDS in 3.0 (blatant webcrawler plug), the answer is to configure this extra file that is not used in 2.4.
