[jbdevstudio-users] Setting up datasource in JBoss

Hello, I am new to JBoss. I downloaded JBoss Developer Studio JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - Version 6.2.0.GA I am trying to setup MySQL as datasource and it is not able to recognize my XML. I copied mysql-connector-java-5.1.30-bin.jar in jboss-eap\standalone\lib directory. Then I placed mysql-ds.xml in jboss-eap\standalone\deployments directory. Following is the content of mysql-ds.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <datasources>   <datasource>   <jndi-name>java:/DefaultDS</jndi-name>    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test</connection-url>    <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>    <user-name>root</user-name>    <password>test1102</password>    <valid-connection-checker-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLValidConnectionChecker</valid-connection-checker-class-name>    <metadata>   <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>   </metadata>   </datasource> </datasources> When I restart JBoss server from my JBDevStudio. I see following message in the console: 09:44:25,580 INFO  [org.jboss.as.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014777:   Services which failed to start:      service jboss.deployment.unit."mysql-ds.xml".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."mysql-ds.xml".PARSE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment "mysql-ds.xml" I will appreciate if someone can shed some light on what am I doing wrong here.
