I've run into problem when my RAR is inside an EAR - jboss fails to bind the connector to the specified jndi name. I started out by deploying the RAR standalone. To do this, I put the -ds.xml directly in the RAR. This worked fine and the connector was bound to the JNDI properly. I then proceeded to including the RAR inside my EAR. To do this, I simply added the RAR (which contains the -ds.xml) to the EAR and added the following entry to the EAR's application.xml :- <module> | <connector>my_connector.rar</connector> | </module> This does not work. Though the EAR deploys without any errors or warnings, the connector does not get bound to the JNDI. Any clues what could be going wrong?
