6.3. Non-XA Datasources

6.3.1. Create a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces

Summary

This topic covers the steps required to create a non-XA datasource, using either the Management Console or the Management CLI.

Prerequisites

  • The JBoss EAP 6 server must be running.

Note

Prior to version 10.2 of the Oracle datasource, the <no-tx-separate-pools/> parameter was required, as mixing non-transactional and transactional connections would result in an error. This parameter may no longer be required for certain applications.

Note

To prevent issues such as duplication of driver listing, selected driver not available in a profile, or driver not displayed if a server for the profile is not running, in JBoss EAP 6.4 onwards, only JDBC drivers that are installed as modules and correctly referenced from profiles are detectable while creating a datasource using the Management Console in domain mode.

Procedure 6.6. Create a Datasource using either the Management CLI or the Management Console

    • Management CLI

      1. Launch the CLI tool and connect to your server.
      2. Run the following Management CLI command to create a non-XA datasource, configuring the variables as appropriate:

        Note

        The value for DRIVER_NAME depends on the number of classes listed in the /META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file located in the JDBC driver JAR. If there is only one class, the value is the name of the JAR. If there are multiple classes, the value is the name of the JAR + driverClassName + "_" + majorVersion +"_" + minorVersion. Failure to do so will result in the following error being logged:
        JBAS014775:    New missing/unsatisfied dependencies
        For example, the DRIVER_NAME value required for the MySQL 5.1.31 driver, is mysql-connector-java-5.1.31-bin.jarcom.mysql.jdbc.Driver_5_1.
        data-source add --name=DATASOURCE_NAME --jndi-name=JNDI_NAME --driver-name=DRIVER_NAME  --connection-url=CONNECTION_URL
      3. Enable the datasource:
        data-source enable --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
    • Management Console

      1. Login to the Management Console.
      2. Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console

        1. Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
        2. For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
        3. Expand the Subsystems menu on the left of the console, then expand the Connector menu.
        4. Select Datasources from the menu on the left of the console.
      3. Create a new datasource

        1. Click Add at the top of the Datasources panel.
        2. Enter the new datasource attributes in the Create Datasource wizard and proceed with the Next button.
        3. Enter the JDBC driver details in the Create Datasource wizard and click Next to continue.
        4. Enter the connection settings in the Create Datasource wizard.
        5. Click the Test Connection button to test the connection to the datasource and verify the settings are correct.
        6. Click Done to finish
Result

The non-XA datasource has been added to the server. It is now visible in either the standalone.xml or domain.xml file, as well as the management interfaces.

6.3.2. Modify a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces

Summary

This topic covers the steps required to modify a non-XA datasource, using either the Management Console or the Management CLI.

Note

Non-XA datasources can be integrated with JTA transactions. To integrate the datasource with JTA, ensure that the jta parameter is set to true.

Procedure 6.7. Modify a Non-XA Datasource

    • Management CLI

      1. Use the write-attribute command to configure a datasource attribute:
        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:write-attribute(name=ATTRIBUTE_NAME,value=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)
      2. Reload the server to confirm the changes:
        reload
    • Management Console

      1. Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console

        1. Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
        2. For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
        3. Expand the Subsystems menu on the left of the console, then expand the Connector menu.
        4. Select Datasources from expanded menu.
      2. Edit the datasource

        1. Select a datasource from the Available Datasources list. The datasource attributes are displayed below.
        2. Click Edit to edit the datasource attributes.
        3. Click Save to finish.
Result

The non-XA datasource has been configured. The changes are now visible in either the standalone.xml or domain.xml file, as well as the management interfaces.

6.3.3. Remove a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces

Summary

This topic covers the steps required to remove a non-XA datasource from JBoss EAP 6, using either the Management Console or the Management CLI.

Procedure 6.8. Remove a Non-XA Datasource

    • Management CLI

      1. Run the following command to remove a non-XA datasource:
        data-source remove --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
    • Management Console

      1. Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console

        1. Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
        2. For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
        3. Expand the Subsystems menu on the left of the console, then expand the Connector menu.
        4. Select Datasources.
      2. Select the datasource to be deleted, then click Remove.
Result

The non-XA datasource has been removed from the server.
