I know it's not a great idea to answer to your own post, but someone suggested that I send a few more details. IMO, it was lame of me to leave them out, so sorry for not doing this earlier!
I'm using jboss-3.0.0RC1, JDK 1.4, Postgres 7.2.1 and the postgres-service.xml 1.3 file from CVS. The only changes that I've made to the postgres-service.xml file are to the user name, password and connection url. I've attached it to this email, with the password being the only difference between this and and the deployed version. Once JBoss has started, connecting to "http://localhost:8082"; lists the hsqldbDS, but no reference is made to "FooPostgresDS". There are no startup error messages, and the Postgres logs indicate that no connection attempt is made. I am starting the default JBoss server from a freshly unpacked copy of the RC1 download. I've copied the pgjdbc2.jar file to both ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib and ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib/ext, and the startup logs indicate that it is picked up. The startup logs also contain the lines: 17:18:31,621 INFO [MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/home/sms/jboss/jboss-3.0.0RC1/server/default/deploy/postgres-service.xml 17:18:31,943 INFO [MainDeployer] Successfully completed deployment of package: file:/home/sms/jboss/jboss-3.0.0RC1/server/default/deploy/postgres-service.xml which suggests that I'm not doing things _entirely_ wrong. I believe that once the postgres datasource is picked up, it should just be a case of renaming the DS to "DefaultDS" to have everything go according to plan.
