It's what the vast majority of our customers do, so I think that the use case for having data sources and their driver be a module will be more common than we may have thought before.<br><br>Andy<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Brian Stansberry" <brian.stansberry@redhat.com><br><b>To: </b>jboss-as7-dev@lists.jboss.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, June 6, 2011 8:02:55 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [jboss-as7-dev] How to install a JDBC driver as a module via CLI or console?<br><br>On 6/6/11 2:15 AM, Heiko Braun wrote:<br>><br>> On Jun 6, 2011, at 9:09 AM, Jaikiran Pai wrote:<br>><br>>>> when creating a datasource.<br>>> As a deployment, it's easy.
