JCA config-property causes corruption to standalone.xml

[fastroller]

If I configure a resource adapter for jackrabbit (jcr) and add the following as config properties (within connection-definition) the server corrupts the standalone.xml file.

{code:xml}<config-property name="HomeDir">${jboss.server.data.dir}/jackrabbit</config-property>{code}

becomes

{code:xml}<config-property>("HomeDir" => "/opt/jboss7/standalone/data/jackrabbit")</config-property>{code}

this causes the server to fail to parse standalone.xml and subsequently does not start on the next restart with the following error

22:32:57,061 ERROR [stderr] Exception in thread "Controller Boot Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.jboss.as.controller.persistence.ConfigurationPersistenceException: Failed to parse configuration

Whats more, the JCA connector is not getting the correct parameters, so the resource throws an exception:

22:29:32,494 WARN  [org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.strategy.PoolByCri] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-6) IJ000604: Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null: javax.resource.ResourceException: Failed to create session: Unable to access a repository with the following settings:

The following RepositoryFactory classes were consulted:

Perhaps the repository you are trying to access is not available at the moment.

Is this against AS 7.0 Final? If yes, please open a JIRA here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7

I've filed a JIRA

Jai Kiran ! I have downloaded theJBoss-AS-7.0.x   Build #1448 (Jul 27, 2011 2:42:03 AM) the above issue did not find its way into this build.

This issue still exists.

Can u please confirm if this fix is part of todays build ?

[jaikiran]

The commit log shows that it's available in AS7 upstream https://source.jboss.org/changelog/JBossAS?cs=604ea95b0a1340bf920b695b2644ef94dbfe6c08. But if you are still running into this issue with the nightly build, then please add more details and the steps that you followed to reproduce this.

I have configired datanucleus-jca as below inside standalone.xml

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.0">

            <resource-adapters>

                <resource-adapter>

                    <archive>

                        datanucleus-jca-3.0.0-m6.rar

                    </archive>

                    <config-property name="PersistenceUnitName">

                        pu

                    </config-property>

                    <connection-definitions>

                        <connection-definition class-name="org.datanucleus.jdo.connector.ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl" jndi-name="java:/TraderDB-PU" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" pool-name="DNConnectionFactory" use-ccm="true"/>

                    </connection-definitions>

                </resource-adapter>

            </resource-adapters>

        </subsystem>

The PersistanceUnitName above is pu , the ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl tries to locate pu inside ra.xml and jdoconfig.xml. The pu never matches with the one defined inside ra.xml. As a workaround i am using <config-property-value>(&quot;PersistenceUnitName&quot; =&gt; &quot;pu&quot;)</config-property-value> inside ra.xml and jdoconfig.xml.

When I change the (&quot;PersistenceUnitName&quot; =&gt; &quot;pu&quot;) to pu datanucleus fails to load.

[jesper.pedersen]

Please, attach your ra.xml file -- also if the config-property is on the MCF you need to move the <config-property> tag under the <connection-definition>.

Currently it looks for "PersistenceUnitName" on the ResourceAdapter instance.

[gmkumar2005]

plz give me a hint how to attach a file in this forum. Nevertheless here are the relavent sections in respective files

ra.xml

<config-property>

            <config-property-name>PersistenceUnitName</config-property-name>

            <config-property-type>java.lang.String</config-property-type>

            <config-property-value>(&quot;PersistenceUnitName&quot; =&gt; &quot;pu&quot;)</config-property-value>

        </config-property>

<config-property>

            <config-property-name>PersistenceXmlFilename</config-property-name>

            <config-property-type>java.lang.String</config-property-type>                                         

            <config-property-value>file:///data1/home/kiran/jboss-as-7.1.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/standalone/deployments/jdopersistence.xml</config-property-value>

jdopersistence.xml

<persistence-unit name="(&quot;PersistenceUnitName&quot; =&gt; &quot;pu&quot;)">

[jesper.pedersen]

Move <config-property> in standalone.xml under the <connection-definition> element, like

<connection-definition ....>

     <config-property ...>

</connection-definiton>

[gmkumar2005]

Thanks Jesper , It works with the changes you suggested the altered section in standalone.xml looks as below. I am happy with instant responses from you and your team. Your commitment to even a very small issue like this proves again  that Jboss is a real server for real people. I will continue to promote jboss as where ever possible.
