If you are using the 1.6 JVM, then you should Download *JDBC4 postgresql Driver.* * *Install the JDBC4 postgresql Driver as a JBoss 7 deployment* * *After downloading postgressql driver jar file. just move the* *postgressql driver jar file into* *Jboss 7 installation directory under standalone/deployments (*jboss-as-web-7.0.0.Final/standalone/deployments*).* * *Restart your jboss server* * Then go to the url and type http://localhost:8080/ http://localhost:8080/ * click Administration console. http://localhost:8080/console http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-17064-1-... In Jboss  Administration console you can press New datasource button, enter datasource name and jndi name then click next button. http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-17064-1-1675... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-17064-1-... step 2 : select postgresql driver. click Next http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-17064-1-1675... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-17064-1-... Step 3:  enter connection URL jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/template1 , Username and Password. http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-17064-1-1675... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-17064-1-... finally click Done. h3. Testing the Postgressql Datasource Using the test client you may now verify the proper installation of your datasource. When testing a newly configured datasource we suggest using some very basic JDBC client code embedded in a JSP page  client.jsp <%@page     import="java.util.*,javax.naming.*,javax.sql.DataSource,java.sql.*"%> <%         DataSource ds = null;         Connection con = null;         Statement stmt = null;         InitialContext ic;         try {             ic = new InitialContext();             ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("java:/SampleDS");             con = ds.getConnection();             stmt = con.createStatement();             ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from login");             while (rs.next()) {                 out.println("<br> " + rs.getString("username") + " | "                         + rs.getString("password"));             }             rs.close();             stmt.close();         } catch (Exception e) {             out.println("Exception thrown ");             e.printStackTrace();         } finally {             if (con != null) {                 con.close();             }         }     %> -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-17064] Create a new document in Datasource Configuration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&am...]
