Hi,

I'm trying to install JBoss Portal 2.2.1RC2 on JBoss 4.0.4RC1 (needed for EJB3) using MySQL 5.0.15 as a data source. My portal-mysql-ds.xml file looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>MySQLPortalDS</jndi-name> <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://LGB201002:3306/jbossportal?useServerPrepStmts=false&jdbcCompliantTruncation=false</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>jboss</user-name>
portal
</local-tx-datasource>


the database is created correctly and the user jboss has full privileges on it. MySQL is running on my machine (LGB201002) on port 3306, so I assume this is the correct configuration. Also I modified all the instances of PortalDs to be MySQLPortalDS. The mySQL connector (ver 3.1.12) is stored in /server/default/lib.
When I start the JBoss server I keep on getting this error:

--- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ---

I've gone through the forum, tried a couple of things that seemed to apply to my problem, but I still get the same problem.
Any help?

thanks
