I have tried to copy/edit files to create what I needed and it appears to work. The question is simply is it correct? sec_ds.xml | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <datasources> | <local-tx-datasource> | <jndi-name>secDatasource</jndi-name> | <connection-url> | jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/selwyn | </connection-url> | <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class> | <user-name>root</user-name> | <password>******</password> | </local-tx-datasource> | </datasources> | persistance.xml | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd" | version="1.0"> | <persistence-unit name="secDatabase"> | <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> | <jta-data-source>java:/secDatasource</jta-data-source> | <properties> | <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"/> | <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/> | <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/> | <!-- These are the default for JBoss EJB3, but not for HEM: --> | <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider"/> | <property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup"/> | </properties> | </persistence-unit> | </persistence> | The project is pure Seam/EJB3. I know its "obvious" to you guys, but it was not obvious from the doco how to set this up for us mortals...
