Using the ResourceRecovery implementation

[teknokrat]

I am interested in using com.arjuna.ats.internal.jdbc.recovery.JDBCXARecovery with the latest jboss ( 4.2.1). As far as I can tell, I just need to add the following xml to jbossjta-properties.xml

<properties name="jdbc" type="system">

 <property name="DatabaseJNDIName" value="java:ExampleDS"/>

 <property name="UserName" value="username"/>

 <property name="Password" value="password"/>

 </properties>

However, our datasource's password is encrypted. So I am not sure, do I add the encrypted string or does it have to be in plaintext?

cheers

That implementation assumes plain-text. Why not just take the source and modify it to better fit your requirements?

Given that my username and password are already defined in the data source file, are the username and password properties really necessary?

[marklittle]

Maybe not. But like I said, just take that specific class, modify it to what you need, and run with it.

Looking at the source code it appears that the username and password are optional. So I think I will leave it. Now , how do I specify the properties in the xml fragment so that they only apply to my application, and not to the entire jboss instance?

[marklittle]

Not sure I understand what you mean by that.

[teknokrat]

My understanding is that I have to add this xml fragment

<properties name="jdbc" type="system">

 <property name="DatabaseJNDIName" value="java:ExampleDS"/>

 <property name="UserName" value="username"/>

 <property name="Password" value="password"/>

 </properties>

to jbossjta-properties.xml. Is this not a global, server wide setting? Or can i add multiple xml fragmets for different data sources?

[marklittle]

That code only works with one datasource, so only one XML fragment will be used. If you want multiple ones then you'll have to put in a feature request JIRA or modify the code yourself.

ok, thanks
