RHQ

[scottjsn]

On JBoss AS 7,  can I configure the following parameters using  RHQ

JNDI

JDBC Data source (such as oracle thin driver)

JAAS (user name and password)

Deploy EAR

Anotehr question, is RHQ a GUI based admin tool?

Thanks

With RHQ you can deploy EAR archives, create and configure Datasources and Security Domains.

For the JNDI and JAAS user name and password part of your question I'm not sure what you mean.

Besides download and install the JBoss AS, if I still need RHQ, do I have to have a separate downloading and instllation of it (RHQ)?

As for the JNDI is a namespace with that I can reference to the JDBC datasource dynamically (otherwise I'll need to hardcode it in my Java program).

The username and the pasword are used for accessing my database;  Otherwise, I'll need to specify them in my Java program by hardcoding.

Yes, you have to. RHQ is a separate software component.

Here's how I understand you requirements: for some reason, you need to switch the database your application is connecting to. In this case, you'll reconfigure your datasource with RHQ, but you don't need to change the name of the datasource in your application.
