[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - using c3p0 as DefaultDS, can`t force ejb-deployer [EJBTimerS

jboss 4.2.3 GA, java version "1.6.0_15", c3p0-0.9.1.2.jar, linux I am trying to use c3p0 as only datasource and I want to get rid of hsqldb-ds and mysql-ds. c3p0-service.xml is default | <server> | <mbean code="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.jboss.C3P0PooledDataSource" | name="jboss:service=PooledDS"> | <attribute name="JndiName">PooledDS</attribute>--> | <attribute name="JdbcUrl">URL</attribute> | <attribute name="DriverClass">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</attribute> | <attribute name="User">USER</attribute> | <attribute name="Password">PWD</attribute> | </mbean> | </server> | I set ejb-deployer.xml - EJBTimerService to depend on this DS by change | <depends optional-attribute name="DataSorce"> jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=DefaultDS </depends> | to | <depends>jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=PooledDS</depends> | However I realize that c3p0 is not bound to jca, so I changed JNDI name of c3p0 bean to | <mbean code="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.jboss.C3P0PooledDataSource" | name="jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=PooledDS"> | This worked, but EJBTimerSerivce try look up DataSource with null: | ObjectName: jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=database | State: FAILED | Reason: java.sql.SQLException: Failed to lookup data source: null | I Depend On: | jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=PooledDS | This look like that EJBTimerService do not receive any DS. Putting back optional-argument=DataSource, helpd. Error message changed to: | ObjectName: jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=PooledDS | State: NOTYETINSTALLED | Depends On Me: | jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=database | I find out that I am not alone with this problem. For example in jboss forum [url] http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983368#... [/url] Which lead to inetersting solution http://www.nabble.com/c3p0-vs-JPA-injections-on-JBoss-td23722441.html . This helped me to fix EJBTimerService dependency on Pooled JNDI name. I am just thinging is it possible to live completly without any -ds.xml data source? [/url] View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255243#...
