JBoss-30 -- Firebird*.xml deployment

[malinche]

I am running a recent cvs build of JBoss-3.0 and am attempting connect to Firebird 1.0.

I made the obvious modification the *.xml file pointing it to my *.gdb file.

When I deploy the file: firebird-service.xml

The following results:

...

Hi there,

I have had a similar problem. I copy pasted it from the
HTML page with the view on CVS (on sourceforge). But M$ exploiter put some extra minus signs in there. After removing them everything was fine.

Greetings,
