3.0.x: DBtype-service.xml; 3.2: DBtype-ds.xml

I just wanted to post a hint that might prove useful to some people dealing with the new JBoss 3.2 download. My small example EJB app failed to work with Oracle when installed into JBoss 3.2. I was dismayed because I thought I had smartly checked for updates for Oracle XA in the docs\examples\jca dir. I had copied and filled the contents of oracle-xa-ds.xml into my old DB config file that was named example-service.xml

Do not do that.
The form of the filename is significant when using the new *-ds.xml files.
You must keep the "-ds.xml" in the filename when using the new tag from the examples in docs\examples\jca.

I updated my build to use a new DB config filename of example-ds.xml. Things now work fine.


(The error was: "org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error: can't find data source: java:/XAOracleDS")

Thanx alot for the tip.

I would suggest to change this format to

whatever.ds.xml

or

whatever.dsxml

where both are more obvious that it is part of the format

Actually I'm hoping to find a reasonable way to make it possible to extend what you can put in a *-service.xml file to include other formats such as what is in *-ds.xml. I think the main part of this will be chaining the XSLSubDeployers, but I haven't had time to work out the details.
