[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4304) Autoconfigure datasources from JBoss in DTP

Autoconfigure datasources from JBoss in DTP ------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-4304 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4304 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JBossAS Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen Assignee: Brian Fitzpatrick Fix For: 3.1.0.CR1 It would be great if DTP would automatically (or semi-automatically) could be configured to pickup the -ds.xml in a server runtime so users didn't have to set it up. Not sure where in the ui we should have this, a couple of options come to my mind: 1) At AS Server/runtime creation have a checkbox saying "Configure -ds.xml automatically in DTP" and then we will keep DTP informed about the -ds.xml files for it to pick up 2) In DTP's ui have a way to add or maybe only import a -ds.xml and have it preconfigured. The biggest issue will be to know which drivers we should be using for -ds.xml... Things that should be considered: If users changes the -ds.xml how does DTP learn about it ? If the users remove the -ds.xml how does DTP react ? If the users add .? Needs investigation into if DTP have extensions point that allows for this kind of 'monitored' resources to update the connections; or if it is better to simply just have a way to "import" settings from ds.xml's (and then possibly have a manual refresh to pickup changes) Or have both. The usecase for this is to be able to use already existing and newly added -ds.xml files from within Eclipse with minimal setup, i.e. for Seam and Dali projects. (I think this is a duplicate, but couldn't find it ;(
