A.5. Microsoft SQL Server

To evaluate those drivers, you can use a simple JSP page to query the pubs database shipped with Microsoft SQL Server.
Move the WAR archive located in files/mssql-test.zip to the /deploy, start the server, and navigate your web browser to http://localhost:8080/test/test.jsp.

Example A.11. Local-TX Datasource Using DataDirect Driver

This example uses the DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers from http://www.datadirect.com.

    <jndi-name>MerliaDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:datadirect:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=jboss</connection-url>
    <driver-class>com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name>sa</user-name>
    <password>sa</password>
    
    <!-- corresponding type-mapping in the standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml (optional) -->
    <metadata>
      <type-mapping>MS SQLSERVER2000</type-mapping>
    </metadata>
  </local-tx-datasource>
  
</datasources>

Example A.12. Local-TX Datasource Using Merlia Driver

A.5.1. Microsoft JDBC Drivers

The Microsoft JDBC driver for MS SQL Server comes now in two flavors:
  • SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3 which can be used with SQL Server 2000
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver which be used with either SQL Server 2000 or 2005. This version contains numerous fixes and has been certified for JBoss Hibernate. This driver runs under JDK 5.
Make sure to read the release.txt included in the driver distribution to understand the differences between these drivers, especially the new package name introduced with 2005 and the potential conflicts when using both drivers in the same app server.
