startup errors on old data source string (where is it?!)

[nickleus]

hi, i'm trying to migrate from jboss 4.2.2 to 7 and i've changed the datasource from "java:mycompany/jdbc/ejbdatasource" to "java:/OracleDS" in standalone.xml and everywhere else in my application, but every time i start the jboss7 server, it errors with the following in server.log:

15:13:14,692 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) Operation ("add") failed - address: ([

    ("subsystem" => "datasources"),

          at org.jboss.as.naming.deployment.ContextNames.bindInfoFor(ContextNames.java:283)

    ("data-source" => "java:mycompany/jdbc/ejbdatasource")

]): java.lang.RuntimeException: Illegal context in name: java:mycompany/jdbc/ejbdatasource

i've even deleted the folder jboss-as-web-7.0.2.Final/standalone/tmp

i've searched my entire application and cant find this datasource anywhere. where is it grabbing it from?

Have you looked in the (central) JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone*.xml file?

[nickleus]

i only have standalone.xml in that folder and there the DS is correct, so i am tearing my hair out trying to figure out where jboss is getting this erroneous datasource string.

{code}grep -ir "ejbdatasource" .{/code}

in my jboss root hits only on the server.log, so it cant be anything in jboss.

and the same search in my application project root gets 0 results.

i am seriously baffled.

Can you please attach the logs that you see on the console and also the standalone.xml?

[nickleus]

omg, i feel like a total idiot. i thought the server.log would get overwritten every time i restarted jboss. i was looking at old server output. when i looked at the size of the log it was like over 1000 lines and i thought that seemed odd, so i deleted it, restarted jboss and the new log was like 60 lines...

ok, now i know THAT isnt a problem, but i still have a problem, but i'll start a new thread/post.

You can actually control that by setting append = false in the FILE appender section of logging subsystem in standalone.xml. The log file will then be overwritten on every server restart.
