[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1015) Deployment fails with NullPointerException when installing JDBC Driver as a deployment

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1015?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12608819#comment-12608819 ] 

Sande Gilda commented on AS7-1015:
----------------------------------

Stefano, you are correct. The change you suggested works:
 <driver>mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar</driver>  

I am rereading the instructions here: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DataSourceConfigurationinAS7 
The sample standalone.xml file has this element for the MySQL driver:
    <driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver#5.1</driver>
Later, it says:
In the module tag above, you should specify the fully qualtified name of the JDBC driver class, appended with a pound sign (#), with the major and minor version number.  In my example above its 5.1, since I am using the 5.1.15 driver from MySQL.  It does not support the micro version number, so if you are tempted, as I was, to add it, it will cause your module to fail loading, which will then cascade to your application using this data source.

Does this mean the above instruction is not correct? That the # is not needed and the micro version number is supported? Should I update this web page?

> 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"
