Hi,
Forgive me as an EJB newbie. I am using JBoss 3.2.1 and have created an EJB which is successfully working from a MySql database.
I am confused as to why the datasource-mapping entity exists in the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file packaged with my bean. Does this not couple my bean to MySql? Can I specify the datasource mapping in the mysql-ds.xml deployed in the cluster, thus abstracting the database type from my bean?
On a side note, the remove-table entity in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml removes the tables on JBoss shutdown. Is there a mechanism to remove the tables on un-deploy? With the current behaviour, why does create-table not drop and create the tables on startup?
Kind Regards,
Steve HW.
