Hi Wold-Dieter,
Thanks for the link to the source. I created the h2console from the soure and this time, i placed the postgres JDBC driver jar file in the WEB-INF/lib folder. Now, i am able to use the h2console to connect to postgresql database.
The h2console app that ships with the quickstart does not have any library jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder. Instead it specifies the dependencies in the META-INF/MANIFEST.mf file. I am positive both the h2 and postgres drivers are loaded while the JBoss starts - i can see the logs. But for some reason, this app only recognizes the h2 driver and fails to recognize the postgres driver. Looking at the source file, i am fairly positive that there is no "hardcoding" anywhere in there. So, it's still a mystery to me.
But thanks to the source, i am able to create a version that is functional.
And thanks also for suggesting an alternative to h2console tool - SQUirrel.
Apppreciate your pointers and tips.
Thanks.
