[jboss-user] [JBoss Getting Started Documentation] - The Wiki page for configuring Oracle is misleading

[northgorky]

Greetings.

I tried posting this in the Getting Started Documentation section, but that did
not really seem to work (was ignored).

The Wiki page for configuring Oracle is, to put it mildly, misleading.  The way
it is laid out, it implies that local-tx datasources are what should be used for
Oracle Databases.  This might have been correct for Oracle 8 and before, but is
definitely not the case for Oracle 10 & later.

The page I am concerned about is;
http://www.jboss.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SetUpAOracleDatasource

Proposed correction attached.  I can upload if you would like, or post a
revision (or if somebody wants to update, go ahead).

The major change was to add a few statements just before the sample Datasource
files, and to switch the order the Datasource Examples are given in the
document.  This should help cut down on the number of Transaction Manager
complaints as well, I would think.  (Would have eliminated them from me, anyways).

Can't seem to attach files here, so put my suggested fix up on my webserver.  Link is http://j2eeguys.com/~steve/JBoss/SetUpAOracleDatasource.html.

Regards,
Steve
