Serveral questions about CMP2.x & JBoss 3.0.0

[246tnt]

Hello, I have several questions :

1) Where can I find documentation about jboss.xml & jbosscmp-jdbc.xml ? ( For JBoss 3.0.0 )

2) What excactly is exactly JASS ?

3) I'd like to create a several session bean ( in different package ) that uses the same bean but this one must access different DataSource depending on which session bean call it. So is there a way to put a config file in the package of each session bean to configure wich database the common entity bean will access ?

4) Is there a way to define DataSource within a jar, without adding a xml file into the deploy directory but directly into the jar that use the datasource ?

I think the jboss.xml file is described in the free Quick Start guide. You can read the DTDs for these files in the docs/dtd directory of the JBoss distribution, or you can buy the JBoss and JBossCMP documentation at FlashLine.

Java Authentication and Authorization Service. We use it to validate user credentials and to get credentials for databases (JCA).

This doesn't sound like a good design, but since is sounds like you will be writing raw JDBC you can open any datasource you like.

Don't know on this one. Not my area.
