If we're going to do a refactoring I'd be more inclined to roll the *-jdbc-state-service.xml and *-jdbc2-service.xml into one file. So all the jdbc is configured together. Any refactoring is going to increase the pain of people porting from 3.2.x, 4.0.x to 4.2.x Ok, the file was badly named when it was introduced in 3.2.x, but is was anticipated that given the usual db portablity problems that different dbs might need different configuration like the jdbc2 file. Question: Is the pain really worth it for the sake of 6 characters on the front a file name? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4051504#...
