Jonathan Halliday commented on JBTM-543:
----------------------------------------

There are a couple of different approaches to this.

The 'DTF' style one is to define multiple classpaths in the product config file (JBossTS_JTS_JacORB_QA.xml) then have multiple node configurations, each referencing a different classpath. Finally a set of different nodeconfig.xml files, each referencing a different 'os' name i.e. node config / classpath. That's a log of extra xml as the number of db drivers grows.

The second approach is to construct a default classpath containing a generic 'dbdriver.jar' entry but no other db drivers (unlike now where all the drivers are on the classpath, although at most one version of each), then use the run-dtf-local.xml file to copy the desired driver from a holding dir to 'dbdriver.jar' for each set of tests. This becomes a pain the next when a driver has more than one .jar though. Maybe use a dir rather than a .jar, as the config is reloaded for each test group and will rescan the dir at that time anyhow.

> For some database servers we want to runs tests with multiple different versions of the drivers. This is non-trivial, as the driver versions each use the same classnames, so only one version can be on the classpath at a time. We'll need some kind of config mechanism to alter the classpath on the fly.
