Re: [wildfly-dev] Deploying JDBC driver to WildFly

Including Adam in the loop and here is what he had to say: -- cut here -- I tried to install either DerbyDB or HSQLDB and they did not had the META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file. In such case you will have to re-create the jar with the property file. I would expect to just make the JARs available in the CLASSPATH as it is the case in all other application servers, -- cut here -- Suggestions ?
