Unable to define oracle datasource on Jboss AS 7

Question

I\'m using Jboss AS 7.1.1.final and I\'m trying to add an oracle Datasource:

Answer 1

Add this to define driver: for xa datasource

<driver name="oracleDriver" module="com.oracle.ojdbc">
         <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>
         <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.OracleXADataSource

for non-xa-------

<driver name="oracleDriver" module="com.oracle.ojdbc">
         <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>
    </driver>

Answer 2

Path for the ojdbc jar in my case was : D:\ProgramFiles\JBoss6.4\modules\com\oracle\jdbc7\main where D:\ProgramFiles\JBoss6.4\ is the JBOSS HOME directory.

in the main folder, need to have following files.

ojdbc7.jar
module.xml

Entry for Module would look like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.oracle.jdbc7">
<properties>
        <property name="jboss.api" value="unsupported"/>
    </properties>
 <resources>
 <resource-root path="ojdbc7.jar"/>
 </resources>
 <dependencies>
 <module name="javax.api"/>
 <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
 <module name="javax.servlet.api" optional="true"/>
 </dependencies>
</module>

Answer 3

Got the answer:

In the drivers section, I defined the driver as sitting in module "com.oracle.ojdbc" but the module itself is actually defined with capital 'O' in 'Oracle' so it should be "com.Oracle.ojdbc"

Answer 4

You can define datasource from admin interface, find good tutorial below
