Thanks for the quick response. Here is my portal-ds.xml file under deploy dir. <local-tx-datasource> <jndi-name>PortalDS</jndi-name> <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://servername:1433;databaseName=JBossPortal</connection-url> <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class> <user-name>id</user-name> pass </local-tx-datasource> Do you think it is a problem with the data source configuration ?
