Adding a datasource for JBoss3

[kibaltsis]

Hello all,

I'm all new to JBoss and J2EE so bear with me. I tried to search the forum and docs for this but didn't quite find any explanation/help.

I'm using JBoss 3.0 beta and JDK 1.3.

I want to deploy a CMP bean using MSSqlServer for DataSource. I took the example mssql-service.xml from the CVS and changed the driver class, url, user, pass etc. to match my own. Then i put this to the deploy dir under JBoss and it seems to have deployed fine.

The view from http://localhost:8082/ shows the service=ConnectionFactoryLoader,name=MSSQL2000DS under jboss.jca
The DefaultDS is listed under jboss.management.single so is there a difference there?

When I try to deploy my bean with the jaws.xml file containing tag:
MSSQL2000DS
I get this:

13:38:03,486 ERROR [EntityContainer] Exception in service lifecyle operation: cr
eate
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: MSSQL2000DS not bound

Why is this/what am I doing wrong here?
Do I need to do something more to add a DataSource?

Thanks,

1. check jndi view, check the status of the mbean

2. You might try removing hsqldb config and naming your ds DefaultDS. When you get this working go back and make the name you want.

Thanks for ideas. I did all that and after some pondering I managed to locate the problem. I simply had misspelled one of the properties for my driver. Anyways, now the DataSource is working and all. Cheers :) !
