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

Procedure 6.6. Create a Datasource using either the Management CLI or the Management Console
Management CLI
- Launch the CLI tool and connect to your server.
- 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.Driverfile 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, ismysql-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
- Enable the datasource:
data-source enable --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
Management Console
- Login to the Management Console.
Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console
- Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
- For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
- Expand the menu on the left of the console, then expand the menu.
- Select from the menu on the left of the console.
Create a new datasource
- Click at the top of the Datasources panel.
- Enter the new datasource attributes in the Create Datasource wizard and proceed with the button.
- Enter the JDBC driver details in the Create Datasource wizard and click to continue.
- Enter the connection settings in the Create Datasource wizard.
- Click the button to test the connection to the datasource and verify the settings are correct.
- Click to finish
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
This topic covers the steps required to modify a non-XA datasource, using either the Management Console or the Management CLI.
Prerequisites
Note
jta parameter is set to true.
Procedure 6.7. Modify a Non-XA Datasource
Management CLI
- Use the
write-attributecommand to configure a datasource attribute:/subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:write-attribute(name=ATTRIBUTE_NAME,value=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)
- Reload the server to confirm the changes:
reload
Management Console
Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console
- Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
- For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
- Expand the menu on the left of the console, then expand the menu.
- Select from expanded menu.
Edit the datasource
- Select a datasource from the Available Datasources list. The datasource attributes are displayed below.
- Click to edit the datasource attributes.
- Click to finish.
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.
- To create a new datasource, refer here: Section 6.3.1, “Create a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces”.
- To remove the datasource, refer here: Section 6.3.3, “Remove a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces”.
6.3.3. Remove a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces
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.
Prerequisites
Procedure 6.8. Remove a Non-XA Datasource
Management CLI
- Run the following command to remove a non-XA datasource:
data-source remove --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
Management Console
Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console
- Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
- For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
- Expand the menu on the left of the console, then expand the menu.
- Select .
- Select the datasource to be deleted, then click .
The non-XA datasource has been removed from the server.
- To add a new datasource, refer here: Section 6.3.1, “Create a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces”.
