Jesper Pedersen [http://community.jboss.org/people/jesper.pedersen] replied to the discussion "JCA / Datasources in domain.xml" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/557687#557687 -------------------------------------------------------------- We will need to see where it fits into the overall AS 7 domain.xml picture -- configuration of the JCA container, setting up datasources and activating resource adapters are very different things, so I don't think putting them under a single XSD is a good idea. No, those are separate because of the reasons stated above. Each piece will fit into a certain area in the domain.xml and not under a single tag. We have * The actual deployment (part of domain.xml which identifies the resource adapter archive) * The configuration of the JCA container (settings for the JCA deployers and the container itself based on the JCA container XSD) * Datasources (specification of datasources based on the datasources XSD) * Activation of resource adapters (activation of resource adapter instances with their configuration based on the resource adapter XSD) The question is if the "system" resource adapter such as jdbc-local.rar and jdbc-xa.rar should be hidden from the domain.xml and be a mandatory deployment. I think so, as <datasource> wouldn't work otherwise. No, and IronJacamar standalone issues should be discussed in the JCA Devel forum - they don't belong here. IronJacamar have a strict release cycle, so don't make that the first overall design goal. Remember that AS 7 will consume an IronJacamar tag which maps to certain functionality - the integration will live in AS 7. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/557687#557687] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS7 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
