hi, I am newly to Jboss 7 and I am testing remote lookup XA datasource from JNDI but no luck. Admittedly, this is not a recommend solution for connection usage remotely, however I just do a testing since it should be provided in the previous jboss version.

Here is my datasource configuration.

 <xa-datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/exported/datasources/abc" pool-name="abc" enabled="true" use-java-context="false" use-ccm="false">
                    <xa-datasource-property name="ServerName">
                        localhost
                    </xa-datasource-property>
                    <xa-datasource-property name="DatabaseName">
                        abc
                    </xa-datasource-property>
                    <driver>mysql</driver>
                    <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
                    <xa-pool>
                        <min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>
                        <max-pool-size>3</max-pool-size>
                        <is-same-rm-override>false</is-same-rm-override>
                        <interleaving>false</interleaving>
                        <pad-xid>false</pad-xid>
                        <wrap-xa-resource>true</wrap-xa-resource>
                    </xa-pool>
                    <security>
                        <user-name>sa</user-name>
                        <password>sa</password>
                    </security>
                    <validation>
                        <validate-on-match>false</validate-on-match>
                        <background-validation>false</background-validation>
                        <background-validation-millis>0</background-validation-millis>
                    </validation>
                    <statement>
                        <prepared-statement-cache-size>0</prepared-statement-cache-size>
                        <share-prepared-statements>false</share-prepared-statements>
                    </statement>
                </xa-datasource>

And here is my client

public class DataSourceClient {
          // *************** DATASOURCE *************************
//          public final static String DATASOURCE = "java:/datasources/abc";
          public final static String DATASOURCE = "datasources/abc";
          private DataSource myDS;


          public DataSource init(Context ctx) throws NamingException,
                              JMSException {
                    return myDS = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(DATASOURCE);
          }

          public void test() throws SQLException{
                    String sql = "INSERT INTO test values (null,'xxx');";
              Connection con = myDS.getConnection();
              Statement stat = con.createStatement();
              stat.execute(sql);
              stat.close();
              con.close();
          }

          public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                    final Properties env = new Properties();
                    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory.class.getName());
                    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "remote://10.1.24.103:4447");
                    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");
                    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "user");
                    InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(env);

                    DataSourceClient qs = new DataSourceClient();
                    qs.init(remoteContext);
                    qs.test();
          }



}

When I trigger client I hit the following error.

ERROR: java.io.EOFException

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to lookup [Root exception is java.io.NotSerializableException: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.strategy.OnePool]

I had googled a lot with no luck. And I have another confuse is that when use-java-context marked to false, it should no need to start the jndi name with "java:", however, server can't start when I removed the prefix and get similar error message  "jndi name should start with java: or java:jboss".

Can somebody tell me whether the jboss 7 support remotely datasource? if so can somebody point out whats the problem of my client, tons thanks!
