[wildfly-dev] How to deal with resource refs when deploying JPA container managed entity managers (WFLY-2841)

We tried that initially (few years ago now) and the JNDI lookup didn't 
work as the DataSource service was not started.  Will the java:comp jndi 
lookup work in the FIRST_MODULE_USE phase?

A lookup should be done, and this should be achieved by using a LookupResourceInjection, not MSC services directly. But that’s not everything I guess, if we want to support java:comp in PUs properly, then I see no other way than looking up the concrete datasource when the entity manager is provided to the app.

If that’s the case, then what if you have a PU pointing to java:comp/env/MyDatasource, inside an EJB jar with 2 EJBs, where each binds java:comp/env/MyDatasource to different concrete Datasource, which concrete Datasource will be used by the PU?

For example, when using the Hibernate Bootstrap spi to start the persistence unit, if we moved references to the datasource to only be in the second deployment phase, that would also help (when using Hibernate).

Wouldn't be preferable to use the original java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS JNDI name, or use an ear and define a java:app bind  at application.xml, to be shared by all modules and components?
