Ok, making progress! I updated the c:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-mysql-ds.xml to have the JbpmDS as a local-tx-datasource, rather than a xa-datasource. <local-tx-datasource> | <jndi-name>JbpmDS</jndi-name> | <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbpmdb</connection-url> | <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class> | <user-name>jbpm</user-name> | <password>Password1</password> | <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name> | <!-- should only be used on drivers after 3.22.1 with "ping" support --> | <valid-connection-checker-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLValidConnectionChecker</valid-connection-checker-class-name> | <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation> | <metadata> | <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping> | </metadata> | | </local-tx-datasource> | Now, I can connect and the database has been populated with all the required tables (32 of them). Now I receive a different error... 2008-11-20 21:43:04,359 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner] Incomplete Deployment listing: | | --- Incompletely deployed packages --- | org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@8ebe4553 { url=file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/ } | deployer: MBeanProxyExt[jboss.web:service=WebServer] | status: Deployment FAILED reason: URL file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/ deployment failed | state: FAILED | watch: file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/WEB-INF/web.xml | altDD: null | lastDeployed: 1227179572015 | lastModified: 1227087751875 | mbeans: | | org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@c3886145 { url=file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/ } | deployer: org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer@1b158db | status: Deployment FAILED reason: URL file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/ deployment failed | state: FAILED | watch: file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/META-INF/application.xml | altDD: null | lastDeployed: 1227179572015 | lastModified: 1227087751562 | mbeans: | | --- MBeans waiting for other MBeans --- | ObjectName: jboss.web.deployment:war=jsf-console.war,id=-1900133037 | State: FAILED | Reason: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: URL file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/ deployment failed | | --- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM --- | ObjectName: jboss.web.deployment:war=jsf-console.war,id=-1900133037 | State: FAILED | Reason: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: URL file:/C:/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-enterprise-bundle.ear/jsf-console.war/ deployment failed | | Which, if my assumptions are correct, are derived from the following message, earlier in the 'server.log'. 2008-11-20 21:43:03,718 DEBUG [org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl] Checking 0 named SQL queries | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,718 DEBUG [org.jbpm.persistence.jta.JtaDbPersistenceService] begin user transaction | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 DEBUG [org.jbpm.persistence.db.DbPersistenceService] using current hibernate session | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 DEBUG [org.jbpm.JbpmContext] closing jbpmContext org.jbpm.JbpmContext@54919e | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 DEBUG [org.jbpm.svc.Services] closing service 'persistence': org.jbpm.persistence.jta.JtaDbPersistenceService@b1b290 | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 DEBUG [org.jbpm.persistence.jta.JtaDbPersistenceService] rolling back user transaction | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 DEBUG [org.jbpm.svc.Services] closing service 'tx': org.jbpm.tx.TxService@422e25 | 2008-11-20 21:43:03,734 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/jbpm-console]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jbpm.web.BootstrapListener | org.hibernate.HibernateException: No CurrentSessionContext configured!
