Hi there,

I am trying to switch from Hypersonic to Firebird 1.5 on Windows XP with JBoss AS 4.0.1 encountering the following problem:

13:42:36,644 ERROR [URLDeploymentScanner] Incomplete Deployment listing:
MBeans waiting for other MBeans:
ObjectName: jboss.ejb:persistencePolicy=database,service=EJBTimerService
 state: CONFIGURED
 I Depend On: jboss.jca:name=DefaultDS,service=DataSourceBinding

 Depends On Me:
ObjectName: jboss:service=KeyGeneratorFactory,type=HiLo
 state: CONFIGURED
 I Depend On: jboss:service=TransactionManager
 jboss.jca:name=DefaultDS,service=DataSourceBinding

 Depends On Me:

MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:
ObjectName: jboss.jca:name=DefaultDS,service=DataSourceBinding
 state: NOTYETINSTALLED
 I Depend On:
 Depends On Me: jboss.ejb:persistencePolicy=database,service=EJBTimerService
 jboss:service=KeyGeneratorFactory,type=HiLo

What exactly does this message tell me? Is this because JBoss expects a Connection here instead of a connection factory as defined in the -ds.xml? I checked the Forums, Wiki, everything I could find but with no success, so if anyone has a working setup for this configuration, I would be glad for any advice.
My current changes to the default server, which runs just fine, are:

I removed the deploy/jms directory, since I read someplace that this just disables JMS, trying to narrow the problem.
I had to change the JNDI/RMI Ports due to some conflicts.

After this, default still starts up fine.
Basic Idea for the changes was to NOT change the Datasource Name, leaving it "DefaultDS", thus minimizing changes (does this conflict with something?).
Then I copied the default to my server directory and did:

copy firebirdsql-full.jar to servers lib dir
copy firebirdsql.rar to deploy dir
copy the firebird-ds.xml from the examples to deploy and customize to my environment, defining the DataSourceName as "DefaultDS"
remove all hsqldb files

Some file extracts:
