SIMPLE Q: where to put a service.xml in an ear?

[eqbridges]

Hi, I have an enterprise application (i.e. a ".ear" file) that deploys fine -- everything works ok.

Currently, I have the database config in a .xml file that is in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy and it works fine there.

I'd like to put the database config file into the ear itself, but cannot figure where to put it and what to name it. (note: i need the directory to place it *and* the filename to use for it).

the idea is that deploying the .ear would automatically configure the jndi name and db connection upon deploy.

can someone please advise?

thanks in advance

AFAIK, the ear deployer won't do anything with your service.xml . If you want to deploy it, you have to put it in the META-INF of a .sar file (or just deploy it standalone ;-)
You can use a container configuration for your EJBs with a JMX ObjectName of a service on which the
container or ejb depends. Take a look at the jboss_3_2.dtd .

Put the my-service.xml file in the root of the .ear.

Include a META-INF/jboss-app.xml file containing

<jboss-app>

my-service.xml

</jboss-app>

you can also use this to deploy embedded .sar files.
