Hi All, Sorry for the duplicate post:
I am developing an application that will be deployed in a shared instance of JBoss at the client site, and they have asked me whether or not I could include the JDBC driver that I will need as part of the ear file I deliver to them. I have done a lot of search and reading documentation but have not found any information on this yet. Every doc says you need to put your driver jar in /server/lib. But my client does not want to change their configuration in this way (to avoid problems with other deployed ears I guess). So - the question is: is this even possible to include the driver in my ear file? This is the possibilities I could think of: 1. Include a custom SAR file in the ear and somehow define my datasource there, with the driver included in the SAR file. 2. Maybe use a RAR file instead, again with the driver included in the RAR. 3. Create some kind of custom classloader to find the driver somewhere within my ear file. I have never written a classloader yet, and this would be a nonstandard thing to say the least, so I would like to avoid this if possible (unless someone can convince me that I shouldn't be scared of this!). So are any of these possible? I don't mind doing the work, but if anybody could give me at least a hint or a pointer to good information I would be *most* appreciative :) Thanks/Merci, Joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3843668#3843668 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3843668 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
