Thank you very much for the direction I'm rewriting the existing *-service.xml used in the jboss-3.0.8 to *-ds.xml in the service.xml, there is an mbean declaration like this <mbean code="org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.LocalTxConnectionManager" name="jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=LalPacDS"> | | <depends optional-attribute-name="ManagedConnectionFactoryName"> | Do i have to include this declaration in the *-ds.xml View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4130782#...
