So i think what is happening is that somehow i am getting the DefaultDS even though I am asking for a different DS(ExampleDS). Well myabe not exactly because it seems like I have the right datasource from what the debugger tells me but I somehow end up in the driver class for the default datasource which is really messing things up. Seems like this is a bug in jboss, please help! View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4211942#...
