See https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-9328 datasource configuration. But I'm not sure whether this will work in AS6. In AS7 there is no way to access the datasource pool outside the server. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/762348#762348] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
