Of course it does!! It's dealt with in this thread https://community.jboss.org/thread/169104?start=15&tstart=0 Reference ojdbc14.jar in the module.xml in the ..\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\modules\com\oracle\main directory then tweek your standalone.xml. the secret is to put in this line   *<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>* here <driver name="oracleDriver" module="com.oracle.ojdbc14"> *<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>*      <xa-datasource-class>           oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource      </xa-datasource-class> </driver> thanks to *Stefano Maestri* (https://community.jboss.org/people/maeste) for this explaination "ojdb14.jar isn't a jdbc4 compliant drive, so we can't desume from META-INF the dirver class and you have to specify it in standalone.xml this way:"  -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/726838#726838] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
