    JBoss-Tomcat & PostgreSQL

    jcevans

      I have been trying to get JBoss, Tomcat and PostgreSQL to work together for some time without much progress. So I hope to ask a few questions, and maybe get past this hurdle. I have installed jboss-3.0.0RC1_tomcat-4.0.3 and postgres-7.2.1, I think correctly.

      I have downloaded the latest postgres-service.xml.
      http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jboss/jbosscx/src/etc/example-config/. PostgreSQL by default listens on port 5432. My database is named "test".

      Question 1: I have changed just a few attributes in that file: ConnectionURL, UserName, Password. Is there anything else that I must/should change in the XML service file? Thanks in advance.

          In addition to configuring postgres-service.xml (see my previous post, this thread), I adapted the following from a couple posts on a previous MySQL thread.

          "What steps are required to get jboss3.0.0RC1_tomcat-4.0.3 and postgresSQL-7.2.1 going?"

          1 - Add latest postgres-service.xml to the $JBOSS_DIST/server/default/deploy directory.
          2 - Add driver (pgjdbc2.jar) to lib directory
          3 - Change the $JBOSS_DIST/server/default/conf/standardjaws.xml entry to "PostgresDS".
          (I assume it is ok to leave the <type-mapping> as "Hypersonic SQL"?)
          4.- Edit $JBOSS_DIST/server/default/conf/login-config.xml, adding a section like that for firebird or hsqldb. (I used the commented-out snippet from the bottom of postgres-service.xml).

          Question 2: do these steps look ok--anything wrong or missing?

          Question 3: how do I know whether it works?

          Thanks again.

            Following on my previous messages ...

            I just tried firing up Tomcat, then JBoss (PostgreSQL has been running all along). I am getting an error. The context is below. Note the 3rd (timestamped) line, which says "PostgresDS does not implement any Service methods". This might be related to the error. But then it seems to finish deploying PostgreSQL (line 8), and chokes (line 10) on tomcat4-service.xml (which I have not touched).

            Thoughts please?

              jcasp

              I fixed this by editing
              $JBOSS_DIST/server/default/deploy/tomcat4-service.xml

              and changing the path for the catalina.home entry to the fully qualified path to catalina. e.g.:

              <!DOCTYPE server [
              <!ENTITY catalina.home "/full/path/to/jboss/catalina">
              ]>


              hope this helps.

                For db connection issues for jboss 3 rc1 please check http://jboss.org/forums/thread.jsp?forum=67&thread=13366 and if you have more problems ask on the jca forum.

                To tell if your datasource loaded ok, look at the mbeans for it in the jmx viewer (port 8082) and check in jndiview to see it the datasource got bound.

                Thanks

                  Thanks Justin, that helped. David, I do have a follow-up question that I will put on the JCA group.
