Great, only problem is I don't see that being bound either. I see it get bound if I place my -ds.xml file in the deploy directory, but not if I put it under my ear directory. Am I missing something? Is there something else that I need to do to get this to work? Also, when I deploy my application I am getting an error complaining about the tag <jta-data-source> (don't have the exact error, the code is at work), is there something I did wrong with my persistence.xml that I listed below?
