<div>Can we include a sample datasource named jdbc/sample so that it's possible to deploy the same example application to JBoss AS and GlassFish without any other configuration? This is a constant headache for creating quickstart applications and we have the opportunity to close the gap.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's the gap we've been juggling:</div><div><br></div><div>JBoss AS < 7: java:/DefaultDS</div><div>GlassFish 3: jdbc/__default and jdbc/sample</div><div><br></div><div>I believe that in general, the EE spec should strongly recommend (though I doubt it can require) that the application server provide an sample database for the purpose of tutorials. We have the opportunity to take a step towards to realize this goal and standardize on jdbc/sample.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I know this seems trivial, but trust me, it makes a huge difference to help bring new users on board. They are forced to deal with datasources before they can learn anything else.</div><div><br></div>
