[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-1410) Make Microcontainer to use Tomcat-defined datasources

Wed Jun 6 16:59:08 EDT 2007

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1410?page=all ]

Alex Savitsky updated JBSEAM-1410:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: TomcatDataSourceFactory.java

My first stab at resolving this issue. The attached code looks up the DataSource in Tomcat JNDI (hardcoded, could be externalized into a property), then binds it to MC JNDI the same way as LocalTxDataSource.start() does it.

> Currently, when deploying on Tomcat+Microcontainer stack, the only way to define a DataSource is to define it in jboss-beans.xml file, which is located INSIDE the deployed WAR.
> A common (and de-facto standard) requirement for production deployments is to let server admin to define the data source, so as not to expose production DB credentials to developers. This requires for the data source definition to be outside of the deployed WAR, either in Tomcat's server.xml file, or in META-INF/context.xml. It would be nice if there would be a way to use that external datasource, instead of defining it in jboss-beans.xml
