I have gone with the different approach , here it goes . I have modified the ConnectionFactoryTemplate.xsl. I have made the following changes Changed <xsl:choose> | <xsl:when test="max-pool-size"> | <attribute name="MaxSize"><xsl:value-of select="max-pool-size"/></attribute> | </xsl:when> | <xsl:otherwise> | <attribute name="MaxSize">20</attribute> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> to <xsl:variable name="maxPoolCount"><xsl:value-of select="max-pool-size"/></xsl:variable> | <xsl:variable name="minPoolCount"><xsl:value-of select="min-pool-size"/></xsl:variable> | <xsl:choose> | <!-- max-pool-size entry is there in the -ds.xml file --> | <xsl:when test="max-pool-size"> | <xsl:choose> | <!-- min pool size is present --> | <xsl:when test="min-pool-size"> | <xsl:choose> | <xsl:when test="$maxPoolCount>$minPoolCount"> | <attribute name="MaxSize"><xsl:value-of select="max-pool-size"/></attribute> | </xsl:when> | <xsl:otherwise> | <attribute name="MaxSize"><xsl:value-of select="min-pool-size"/></attribute> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> | </xsl:when> | <!-- min pool size is absent --> | <xsl:otherwise> | <attribute name="MaxSize"><xsl:value-of select="max-pool-size"/></attribute> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> | </xsl:when> | | <!-- max-pool-size entry is not there in the -ds.xml file --> | <xsl:otherwise> | <xsl:choose> | <!-- min-pool-size is present --> | <xsl:when test="min-pool-size"> | <xsl:choose> | <xsl:when test="20 >= $minPoolCount"> | <attribute name="MaxSize">20</attribute> | </xsl:when> | <xsl:otherwise> | <attribute name="MaxSize"><xsl:value-of select="min-pool-size"/></attribute> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> | </xsl:when> | <!-- min-pool-size is absent --> | <xsl:otherwise> | <attribute name="MaxSize">20</attribute> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> | </xsl:otherwise> | </xsl:choose> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033499#...
