[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4673?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] John Mazzitelli commented on AS7-4673: -------------------------------------- This is from: http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html/deployment.htm... "Table 5.14. xa-datasource elements", element "xa-datasource-property": "Specifies a property to assign to the XADataSource implementation class. Each property is identified by the name attribute and the property value is given by the xa-datasource-property element content. The property is mapped onto the XADataSource implementation by looking for a JavaBeans style getter method for the property name. If found, the value of the property is set using the JavaBeans setter with the element text translated to the true property type using the java.beans.PropertyEditor for the type" So, it appears this ConnectionProperties property is mapped to Properties but there is no JavaBeans PropertyEditor installed for that type "Properties". There is one available in commons-core (org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor). I think AS7 needs to register it somehow, or as a workaround some custom extension a user writes needs to do it at startup (via a call to "java.beans.PropertyEditorManager.registerEditor(java.util.Properties.class, org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor.class);"). I don't know any other workaround. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
