[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - How start mysql via mysqld-service using named pipes

I can start MySQL outside of JBoss with named pipes enabled and then configure a datasource to connect to it. If I launch MySQL via jmx (mysqld-service.xml) I see it running but when the datasource using it tries to connect it cannot. I see this in the log: Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago. at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createCommunicationsException(SQLError.java:1070) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.createNewIO(ConnectionImpl.java:2104) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.(ConnectionImpl.java:729) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.getInstance(ConnectionImpl.java:298) at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:283) at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalManagedConnectionFactory.createManagedConnection(LocalManagedConnectionFactory.java:171) ... 122 more Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\.\pipe\MySQL (The system cannot find the file specified) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.(RandomAccessFile.java:212) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.(RandomAccessFile.java:98) at com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory$NamedPipeSocket.(NamedPipeSocketFactory.java:57) at com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory.connect(NamedPipeSocketFactory.java:215) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.(MysqlIO.java:276) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.createNewIO(ConnectionImpl.java:2027) ... 126 more There is a propery called namedPipePath. If I use that in the mysql startup (mysqld-service.xml) it will not start and says that is not a valid attribute. Error is: No Attribute found with name: namedPipePath My knowledge of named pipes is minimal. Does the connector/datasource need to know named pipe path in use? How do I find that? Or what? I must be missing some key configuration step. Help! Example configuration files would be great. ..\server\default\data\mysql\data ..\server\default\data\mysql true true from mysql-ds.xml <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://./mytestdb</connection-url> <connection-property name="socketFactory">com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory</connection-property> <!-- commented out now, tried earlier connection-property name="namedPipePath">c:\pipe\MySQL</connection-property--> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187114#...
