Switching to Sybase Database in JBoss Portal
Hello All,
I am trying to switch the database of my JBoss Portal installation to Sybase. I followed the directions in the reference guide on how to switch database, i.e.:
1. Place the connectors in the "[JBOSS_HOME]\server\default\lib" folder.
2. Add a "portal-sybase-ds.xml" datasource file and place it in the "deploy" folder. The file is shown below.
3. Remove the "portal-hsqldb-ds.xml" in the "deploy" folder to avoid conflict in the new datasource.
4. Change the dialect to "org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseDialect" of the different "hibernate.cfg.xml" files found in the "jboss-portal.sar" folder to force the DB dialect to Sybase.
When I run the server, the tables are being created accordingly. However, it throws the exception shown below. I also cannot navigate to the portal page. Is there anything I am missing out in the process?
I am using the server that is bundled with the zip file that I downloaded in the JBoss Portal site. Here are my specifications:
JBOSS: jboss-portal-2.6-ALPHA2
OS: Windows XP

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
