Datasource with JBoss and Hibernate

[etwcn]

Hi,

am trying to configure an oracle datasource with JBoss. I have copied the oracle-ds.xml file from the docs/examples/jca directory and entered my connection url, user and password. I placed the file in the deploy directory. When I now start up JBoss server, I get the message:

--- Packages waiting for a deployer ---
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@8545a55 { url=file:/D:/henning/epus/ProgShare/JBoss/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/epus3DS.xml }
 deployer: null
 status: null
 state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER
 watch: file:jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/oracleDS.xml
 altDD: null
 lastDeployed: 1180445920698
 lastModified: 1180445920683
 mbeans:

--- Incompletely deployed packages ---
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@8545a55 { url=file:/D:/henning/epus/ProgShare/JBoss/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/epus3DS.xml }
 deployer: null

This does not sound good for start. Then, I modified my hibernate.cfg.xml and replaced the connection parameters by this parameter:

<property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java:oracleDS</property>

When my application now tries to connect to the database, I get the message that "oracleDS is not bound".

What's wrong, how can I fix this.

Hi,

Try renaming the xml file the datasource is defined in to the following, epus3-ds.xml or oracle-ds.xml. This is how datasources are configured in JBoss running on Linux (note the -ds.xml) i assume it is the same for Windows.

Cheers

Thanks a lot, that solved the problem. JBoss now binds the datasource as expected. I wonder, if I missed this tiny little naming detail, when I browsed the documentation, or if it just not documented.
