My CLI Command At a command prompt I'm executing the following: jboss-cli.bat --connect controller=myserver:myport --file=mycmds.cli The "mycmds.cli" file contains the following: xa-data-source add --name=MyDB --jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/MyDB --user-name=myName --password=myPassword --driver-name=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver --xa-datasource-class=oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource --same-rm-override=false --no-tx-separate-pool=true --check-valid-connection-sql="select count(*) from MYTABLE" My original -ds.xml file (from JBoss 4.x) I'm trying to convert to JBoss 7.x contained the following:   <xa-datasource>     <jndi-name>MyDB</jndi-name>     <track-connection-by-tx>true</track-connection-by-tx>     <isSameRM-override-value>false</isSameRM-override-value>     <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>           <!-- The line below is used only for mysql installations.  -->           <!--new-connection-sql>set autocommit=1</new-connection-sql-->     <xa-datasource-property name="URL">jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE</xa-datasource-property>     <xa-datasource-property name="User">myUser</xa-datasource-property>     <xa-datasource-property name="Password">myPassword</xa-datasource-property>     <no-tx-separate-pools />     <check-valid-connection-sql>select count(*) from MYTABLE</check-valid-connection-sql>   </xa-datasource> Oracle driver (ojdbc14.jar) I first deployed this as a regular JAR by copying it to the standalone/deployments folder and added a .dodeploy file.  It deployed successfully but when I ran my CLI command above, it said "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" not installed. I then tried adding to the jar the java.sql.Driver file (as described in the JBoss documentation) to the JAR thinking this might be the problem.  It redeployed successfully but I still received the CLI error message. Finally, I undeployed the Oracle driver as a regular JAR and added it as a module.  I created a modules/oracle/jdbc/main folder, copied the original JAR into this folder and added a module.xml file.  The module.xml file contains <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="oracle.jdbc">         <resources>                 <resource-root path="ojdbc14.jar"/>         </resources>         <dependencies>                 <module name="javax.api"/>         </dependencies> </module> I restarted JBoss, retried my CLI command and received the same error message.  I also tried changing the driver name from "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" to "oracle.jdbc" and "ojdbc14.jar".  In both cases, I still receive the CLI error message "XXX is not installed". Ultimately, I'm fine setting up Oracle as a module (vs. deployment) because I must also support MySQL and I found in the JBoss documentation it must be configured as a module because it's "is jdbc compliant" method always returns false or something like that.  Since I must configure that as a module, I might as well be consistent w/ Oracle.
