maven dependency setup.

[amberjboss1999]

I really fairly new to JCA development so maybe I am just not looking in the right places; so I want to apologize if the questions is too fundamental. But with what little example I've found from the 1.0.6-Beta distribution/samples, it wasn't very helpful for me to determine all the dependencies(and version) I need to compile a project.

The example just asked to copy every jar under lib/ and one IronJacamar-sjc.jar from bin directory and compile in ant; since I am restricted to maven build environment, I have to somehow enter the version information. How am I supposed to do that?

And that's just first part of my battle. Since the resources I am testing is behind the firewall from my usual development environment, I can't run profile jbossas-remote-6; I have to deploy to the isolated environment and somehow run my tests that way. But first I'd like to get through the hump of just setting up the libraries.

Hasn't anyone had the same task, to use maven to set up at least the compile time environment?

Thanks!

I don't know what 1.0.6-Beta is...

1. Download IronJacamar standalone (http://www.jboss.org/ironjacamar/downloads)
2. Run the code generator (http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html/codegenerator.html)
3. Select the Maven build environment in the end

You should only need to depend on the javax.resource API - however, why not use the whole thing and run unit tests too

Sorry, Jesper, typo, it was 1.0.0.Beta6; I did code-gen and used that as the code base; I'll have to try that again according to what you said. Thanks in advance!

[jesper.pedersen]

Use 1.0.0.Final

Thank you so much Jesper, great work!

The stuff I mostly encountered was dependency issues that throw me for a loop /w InvocationTargetException. Long story short, the JCA connector is working in a remote Jboss 6 server. I ran stress tests on the new server and it seems to handle the heavy load just fine.

However, I am still puzzled by how I can monitor resource allocation related parameters: http://support.hyperic.com/display/EVO/JBoss+6.0+JCA+Connection+Pool+service

Min Connections	MinSize	none	UTILIZATION	false	30 min
Max Connections	MaxSize	none	UTILIZATION	false	30 min
Total Connections	ConnectionCount	none	UTILIZATION	false	5 min
Available Connections	AvailableConnectionCount	none	UTILIZATION	true	5 min
Active Connections	InUseConnectionCount	none	UTILIZATION	true	5 min
Connections Created	ConnectionCreatedCount	none	UTILIZATION	false	10 min
Connections Created per Minute	ConnectionCreatedCount1m	none	UTILIZATION	false	10 min
Connections Destroyed	ConnectionDestroyedCount	none	UTILIZATION	false	10 min
Connections Destroyed per Minute	ConnectionDestroyedCount1m	none	UTILIZATION	false	10 min
Availability	Availability	percentage	AVAILABILITY	true	10 min

I use the generated loggining.properties and put it in src/main/rar/META-INF, but server.log reveals no "iron.jacamar" related output that I can monitor.

I attached additional config-properties in my ironjacamar.xml. I absolutely need to configure and monitor the resources usage.

Sorry about the newbie questions in advance!

AS 6 isn't IronJacamar - use IronJacamar/Standalone or AS 7.

And for the Hyperic part - that you will have to talk with them about. Use our stuff instead would be my answer.

[amberjboss1999]

It's unlucky for me that I couldn't access/monitor the AS 6 server remotely, and our company can't move to AS7 within a year (Im being optimistic here).

But thanks anyway!

[jesper.pedersen]

There is no SLA on community projects. Use our platform: http://www.jboss.com/products/platforms/application/ and you will get RHQ

[amberjboss1999]

I think I should provide more details....:D My initial requirement to get a connection pooling going, and allow me to reconfigure a few things as we go. (max,min connections, and time-out values, etc). It's not a built-in resource like DataSource.

So if I understand correctly, if I could get AS 7, I will be able to "see"  these resources on jmx console (or rhq console)?

[jesper.pedersen]

Take a look here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Resource+adapters for AS 7 configuration.

AS 7 has a new GWT based console - viewing the resource adapter deployment information - such as pool usage - is still in development. It'll be done in AS 7.1 at the latest.

Thanks Jesper! I am excited about AS 7!
