As for the *standalone* setup, the driver name *is* the file name of the JAR dropped into /standalone/deployments according to http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html/deployment.htm... http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html/deployment.htm... (Table 5.13, driver description). However, I'm still facing two problems. For whatever reason, at server startup the datasource is never configured on the first try: 04:00:55,224 INFO  [org.jboss.as.connector.subsystems.datasources] (MSC service thread 1-3) Bound data source [java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS] 04:00:55,238 INFO  [org.jboss.as.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) Started FileSystemDeploymentService for directory C:\dev\jboss7\standalone\deployments 04:00:55,244 INFO  [org.jboss.as.deployment] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) Found bbstats.war in deployment directory.
