Greetings,

On starting JBoss with firebirdsql.rar and the firebird-service.xml (appended at the end of this post) deployed in 'default', the following messages are printed to the JBoss console:

If I then just touch firebird-service.xml file in the 'deploy' directory JBoss notices and redeploys with a different result;

The connector seems to have now been deployed (it successfully creates the jca.gdb file).

Can anyone explain why the connector isn't deploying properly as JBoss starts?

It seems that the connection pool is not maintaining a minimum of 10 connections (as specified in firebird-service.xml). Any suggestions here would be most welcome.

Any suggestions on where to read up on allowed values and meanings of all tags in firebird-service.xml would also be much appreciated (so far all I can see is the sample config file which seems to assume a lot more knowledge than I have about the subtlties of configuring this connector).

Thanks for any assistance,
Darius
