Tomcat dabase in JBoss

[justin_sane]

I have a working project in tomcat alone.
I want it to work in JBoss, but i can't have JBoss use my tomcat dabase.
Is this possible? Can someone explain how to do it?

In your application, how are you accessing the database? Directly via JNDI or are you using a data source defined within Tomcat? If the former, you don't have to make any changes (well, you do need to copy the JDBC driver jar file to the server/default/lib directory).

If the later, you need to create a *-ds.xml file to define the data source, and copy it to the server/default/deploy directory (and put the JDBC driver jar file in the server/default/lib directory). Several example *-ds.xml files, for various databases, can be found at ./docs/examples/jca. And the documentation is at http://docs.jboss.com/jbossas/guides/j2eeguide/r2/en/html_single/#ch7.jdbc.sect

I have 2 databases in my working project in Tomcat.
One a sql that i already have working in JBoss, and the other one is the editable user database that Tomcat uses by default. It's just a xml file, that i use to login users.
I can't get the last one to work! I tried putting it in the *-ds.xml file, in the login-config.xml file...
I really, really need some help.

JBoss supports a variety of login modules, not sure if one of those will do what you want (read your xml file as is), but you can read about them at http://docs.jboss.com/jbossas/guides/j2eeguide/r2/en/html_single/#d0e17193
