Persistence plugin needs to better guide users through a custom database configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-565 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-565 Project: Forge Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Builtin Plugins Affects Versions: 1.0.4.Final Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Priority: Minor Labels: Starter Fix For: 1.2.4.Final In order to use the PostgreSQL (or any custom) database, you'll need to skip the --container JBOSS_AS7 parameter; otherwise, this will override the data-source configuration as seen in the INFO messages: {code}***INFO*** Setting transaction-type="JTA" ***INFO*** Using example data source [java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS]{code} We should probably make this more clear, or perhaps create a warning or error scenario instead of INFO. When you remove the --container parameter. It should be much clearer that you may need to use some of the extended parameters like --jndiName and so forth. This can probably be done by updating the PersistencePlugin and related classes: https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/javaee-impl/src/main/java/org/j...
