Deployment fails with NullPointerException when installing JDBC Driver as a deployment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-1015
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1015
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JCA
         Environment: Fedora 14. JBoss AS7 build from June 8, Using MySQL JDBC driver downloaded as an example from http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DataSourceConfigurationinAS7#Installing_a_JDBC_driver_as_a_deployment
            Reporter: Sande Gilda


I am working on the DataSource configuration changes for the EAP5 -> EAP6 migration guide and am following the steps here: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DataSourceConfigurationinAS7.

I have been able to successfully install the MySQL JDBC driver as a module, however, I am not having much luck installing the driver as a deployment, which this document says is the recommended way to install it. 

I've done the following:
 - I copied the JDBC-compliant mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar (downloaded from the above web site) into my <jboss7>/standalone/deployments directory.
 - I still have the <datasource> and <driver> elements defined in my standalone.xml file from when I successfully installed the driver as a module.

When I start the server, I see the following error in the log:

11:53:42,348 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."TopicIndex.war".CONFIGURE_MODULE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."TopicIndex.war".CONFIGURE_MODULE: Failed to process phase CONFIGURE_MODULE of deployment "TopicIndex.war"

Later I see the message that deployment of my WAR failed due to the missing dependency:

11:53:42,394 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-1) Starting deployment of "TopicIndex.war"

   New missing/unsatisfied dependencies:
      service jboss.jdbc-driver._________________________ (missing) required by [service jboss.data-source.java:/TopicIndexDatasource]

Is there something else I need to be doing here?
