Chapter 12. Datasource Management

12.1. About JBoss EAP Datasources

About JDBC

The JDBC API is the standard that defines how databases are accessed by Java applications. An application configures a datasource that references a JDBC driver. Application code can then be written against the driver, rather than the database. The driver converts the code to the database language. This means that if the correct driver is installed, an application can be used with any supported database.

For more information, see the JDBC specification

Supported Databases

See JBoss EAP supported configurations for the list of JDBC-compliant databases supported by JBoss EAP 7.

Datasource Types

The two general types of resources are referred to as datasources and XA datasources.

Non-XA datasources
Used for applications that do not use transactions, or applications that use transactions with a single database.
XA datasources
Used by applications that use multiple databases or other XA resources as part of one XA transaction. XA datasources introduce additional overhead.

You specify which type of datasource to use when creating the datasource using the JBoss EAP management interfaces.

The ExampleDS datasource

JBoss EAP ships with an example datasource configuration, ExampleDS, which is provided to demonstrate how datasources are defined. This datasource uses an H2 database, which is a lightweight, relational database management system that provides developers with the ability to quickly build applications.

Warning

The ExampleDS datasource and the H2 database should not be used in a production environment. This is a very small, self-contained datasource that supports all of the standards needed for testing and building applications, but is not robust or scalable enough for production use.

12.2. JDBC Drivers

Before defining datasources in JBoss EAP for your applications to use, you must first install the appropriate JDBC driver.

12.2.1. Installing a JDBC Driver as a Core Module

To install a JDBC driver as a core module, you must first add the JDBC driver as a core module and then register the JDBC driver in the datasources subsystem.

12.2.1.1. Add the JDBC Driver as a Core Module

JDBC drivers can be installed as a core module using the management CLI using the following steps.

  1. Download the JDBC driver.

    Download the appropriate JDBC driver from your database vendor. See JDBC Driver Download Locations for standard download locations for JDBC drivers of common databases.

    Make sure to extract the archive if the JDBC driver JAR file is contained within a ZIP or TAR archive.

  2. Start the JBoss EAP server.
  3. Launch the management CLI.

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh
  4. Use the module add management CLI command to add the new core module.

    [disconnected /] module add --name=MODULE_NAME --resources=PATH_TO_JDBC_JAR --dependencies=DEPENDENCIES

    Example

    The following command adds a MySQL JDBC driver module:

    [disconnected /] module add --name=com.mysql --resources=/path/to/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar --dependencies=javax.transaction.api,sun.jdk,ibm.jdk,javaee.api,javax.api

    Example

    To launch the management CLI and add a new core module in a single step, use the following command:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --command="module add --name=MODULE_NAME --resources=PATH_TO_JDBC_JAR --dependencies=DEPENDENCIES"
    Important

    Using the module management CLI command to add and remove modules is provided as Technology Preview only. This command is not appropriate for use in a managed domain or when connecting to the management CLI remotely. Modules should be added and removed manually in a production environment.

    Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

    See Technology Preview Features Support Scope on the Red Hat Customer Portal for information about the support scope for Technology Preview features.

    Execute module --help for more details on using this command to add and remove modules.

You must next register it as a JDBC driver for it to be referenced by application datasources.

12.2.1.2. Register the JDBC Driver

After the driver has been installed as a core module, you must register it as a JDBC driver using the following management CLI command. When running in a managed domain, be sure to precede this command with /profile=PROFILE_NAME.

/subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=DRIVER_NAME:add(driver-name=DRIVER_NAME,driver-module-name=MODULE_NAME,driver-xa-datasource-class-name=XA_DATASOURCE_CLASS_NAME, driver-class-name=DRIVER_CLASS_NAME)
Note

The driver-class-name parameter is only required if the JDBC driver jar defines more than one class in its /META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file.

For example, the /META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file in the MySQL 5.1.36 JDBC driver JAR defines two classes:

  • com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
  • com.mysql.fabric.jdbc.FabricMySQLDriver

For this case, you would pass in driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver.

For example, the following command registers a MySQL JDBC driver.

/subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=mysql:add(driver-name=mysql,driver-module-name=com.mysql,driver-xa-datasource-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlXADataSource, driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver)

The JDBC driver is now available to be referenced by application datasources.

12.2.2. Installing a JDBC Driver as a JAR Deployment

JDBC drivers can be installed as a JAR deployment using either the management CLI or the management console. As long as the driver is JDBC 4-compliant, it will automatically be recognized and installed as a JDBC driver upon deployment.

The following steps describe how to install a JDBC driver using the management CLI.

Note

The recommended installation method for JDBC drivers is to install them as a core module.

  1. Download the JDBC driver.

    Download the appropriate JDBC driver from your database vendor. See JDBC Driver Download Locations for standard download locations for JDBC drivers of common databases.

    Make sure to extract the archive if the JDBC driver JAR file is contained within a ZIP or TAR archive.

  2. If the JDBC driver is not JDBC 4-compliant, see the steps to Update a JDBC Driver JAR to be JDBC 4-Compliant.
  3. Deploy the JAR to JBoss EAP.

    deploy PATH_TO_JDBC_JAR
    Note

    In a managed domain, specify the appropriate server groups.

    For example, the following command deploys a MySQL JDBC driver.

    deploy /path/to/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar

    A message will be displayed in the JBoss EAP server log that displays the deployed driver name, which will be used when defining datasources.

    WFLYJCA0018: Started Driver service with driver-name = mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar

The JDBC driver is now available to be referenced by application datasources.

Update a JDBC Driver JAR to be JDBC 4-Compliant

If the JDBC driver JAR is not JDBC 4-compliant, it can be made deployable using the following steps.

  1. Create an empty temporary directory.
  2. Create a META-INF subdirectory.
  3. Create a META-INF/services subdirectory.
  4. Create a META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file and add one line to indicate the fully-qualified class name of the JDBC driver.

    For example, the below line would be added for a MySQL JDBC driver.

    com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
  5. Use the JAR command-line tool to add this new file to the JAR.

    jar \-uf jdbc-driver.jar META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver

12.2.3. JDBC Driver Download Locations

The following table gives the standard download locations for JDBC drivers of common databases used with JBoss EAP.

Note

These links point to third-party websites which are not controlled or actively monitored by Red Hat. For the most up-to-date drivers for your database, check your database vendor’s documentation and website.

Sybase

The jConnect JDBC driver is part of the SDK for SAP ASE installation. Currently there is not a separate download site for this driver by itself.

Microsoft

http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/jdbc/

12.2.4. Access Vendor-Specific Classes

In some cases, it is necessary for an application to use vendor-specific functionality that is not part of the JDBC API. In these cases, you can access vendor-specific APIs by declaring a dependency in that application.

Warning

This is advanced usage. Only applications that need functionality not found in the JDBC API should implement this procedure.

Important

This process is required when using the reauthentication mechanism, and accessing vendor-specific classes.

You can define a dependency for an application using either the MANIFEST.MF file or a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file.

If you have not yet done so, install a JDBC driver as a core module.

Using the MANIFEST.MF File
  1. Edit the application’s META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.
  2. Add the Dependencies line and specify the module name.

    For example, the below line declares the com.mysql module as a dependency.

    Dependencies: com.mysql
Using a jboss-deployment-structure.xml File
  1. Create a file called jboss-deployment-structure.xml in the META-INF/ or WEB-INF/ folder of the application.
  2. Specify the module using the dependencies element.

    For example, the following example jboss-deployment-structure.xml file declares the com.mysql module as a dependency.

    <jboss-deployment-structure>
      <deployment>
        <dependencies>
          <module name="com.mysql"/>
        </dependencies>
      </deployment>
    </jboss-deployment-structure>

The example code below accesses the MySQL API.

import java.sql.Connection;
...
Connection c = ds.getConnection();
if (c.isWrapperFor(com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.class)) {
    com.mysql.jdbc.Connection mc = c.unwrap(com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.class);
}
Important

Follow the vendor-specific API guidelines closely, as the connection is being controlled by the IronJacamar container.

12.3. Creating Datasources

Datasources can be created using the management console or the management CLI.

JBoss EAP 7 allows you to use expressions in datasource attribute values, such as the enabled attribute. See the Property Replacement section for details on using expressions in the configuration.

12.3.1. Create a Non-XA Datasource

You can create non-XA datasources using either the management CLI or the management console.

Defining a Non-XA Datasource Using the Management Console
  1. Navigate to datasources in standalone or domain mode.

    • Use the following navigation in the standalone mode:

      ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources

    • Use the following navigation in the domain mode:

      ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources

  2. Click the Add (+) button and choose Add Datasource.
  3. It opens the Add Datasource wizard where you can choose the datasource type and click Next. This creates a template for your database. The following pages of the wizard are prefilled with values specific for the selected datasource. This makes the datasource creation process easy.
  4. You can test your connection on the Test Connection page before finishing the datasource creation process.
  5. Review the details and click Finish to create the datasource.
Defining a Non-XA Datasource Using the Management CLI

Non-XA datasources can be defined using the data-source add management CLI command.

  1. If you have not yet done so, install and register the appropriate JDBC Driver as a Core Module.
  2. Define the datasource using the data-source add command, specifying the appropriate argument values.

    data-source add --name=DATASOURCE_NAME --jndi-name=JNDI_NAME --driver-name=DRIVER_NAME  --connection-url=CONNECTION_URL  --user-name=USER_NAME --password=PASSWORD
    Note

    In a managed domain, you must specify the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

    See the Datasource Parameters section below for tips on these parameter values.

For detailed examples, see the Example Datasource Configurations for the supported databases.

Datasource Parameters
jndi-name
The JNDI name for the datasource must start with java:/ or java:jboss/. For example, java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS.
driver-name

The driver name value depends on whether the JDBC driver was installed as a core module or a JAR deployment.

  1. For a core module, the driver name value will be the name given to the JDBC driver when it was registered.
  2. For a JAR deployment, the driver name is the name of the JAR if there is only one class listed in its /META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file. If there are multiple classes listed, then the value is JAR_NAME + "_" + DRIVER_CLASS_NAME + "_" + MAJOR_VERSION + "_" + MINOR_VERSION (for example mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar_com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver_5_1).

    You can also see the driver name listed in the JBoss EAP server log when the JDBC JAR is deployed.

    WFLYJCA0018: Started Driver service with driver-name = mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar_com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver_5_1
connection-url
For details on the connection URL formats for the supported databases, see the list of Datasource Connection URLs.

For a complete listing of all available datasource attributes, see the Datasource Attributes section.

user-name
The user name to use when creating a new datasource connection.
password
The password to use when creating a new datasource connection.

12.3.2. Create an XA Datasource

You can create XA datasources using either the management CLI or the management console.

Defining an XA Datasource Using the Management Console
  1. Navigate to datasources in standalone or domain mode.

    • Use the following navigation in the standalone mode:

      ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources

    • Use the following navigation in the domain mode:

      ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources

  2. Click the Add (+) button and choose Add XA Datasource.
  3. It opens the Add XA Datasource wizard where you can choose the datasource type and click Next. This creates a template for your database. The following pages of the wizard are prefilled with values specific for the selected datasource. This makes the datasource creation process easy.
  4. You can test your connection on the Test Connection page before finishing the datasource creation process.
  5. Review the details and click Finish to create the datasource.
Defining an XA Datasource Using the Management CLI

XA datasources can be defined using the xa-data-source add management CLI command.

Note

In a managed domain, you will need to specify the profile to use. Depending on the format of the management CLI command, you will either precede the command with /profile=PROFILE_NAME or pass in the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

  1. If you have not yet done so, install and register the appropriate JDBC Driver as a Core Module.
  2. Define the datasource using the xa-data-source add command, specifying the appropriate argument values.

    xa-data-source add --name=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME --jndi-name=JNDI_NAME --driver-name=DRIVER_NAME --xa-datasource-class=XA_DATASOURCE_CLASS --xa-datasource-properties={"ServerName"=>"HOST_NAME","DatabaseName"=>"DATABASE_NAME"}

    See the Datasource Parameters section below for tips on these parameter values.

  3. Set XA datasource properties.

    At least one XA datasource property is required when defining an XA datasource or you will receive an error when adding the datasource in the previous step. Any properties that were not set when defining the XA datasource can be set individually afterward.

    1. Set the server name.

      /subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME/xa-datasource-properties=ServerName:add(value=HOST_NAME)
    2. Set the database name.

      /subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME/xa-datasource-properties=DatabaseName:add(value=DATABASE_NAME)

For detailed examples, see the Example Datasource Configurations for the supported databases.

Datasource Parameters
jndi-name
The JNDI name for the datasource must start with java:/ or java:jboss/. For example, java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS.
driver-name

The driver name value depends on whether the JDBC driver was installed as a core module or a JAR deployment.

  1. For a core module, the driver name value will be the name given to the JDBC driver when it was registered.
  2. For a JAR deployment, the driver name is the name of the JAR if there is only one class listed in its /META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file. If there are multiple classes listed, then the value is JAR_NAME + "_" + DRIVER_CLASS_NAME + "_" + MAJOR_VERSION + "_" + MINOR_VERSION, for example, mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar_com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver_5_1.

    You can also see the driver name listed in the JBoss EAP server log when the JDBC JAR is deployed.

    WFLYJCA0018: Started Driver service with driver-name = mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar_com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver_5_1
xa-datasource-class
Specify the XA datasource class for the JDBC driver’s implementation of the javax.sql.XADataSource class.
xa-datasource-properties
At least one XA datasource property is required when defining an XA datasource or you will receive an error when attempting to add it. Additional properties can also be added to the XA datasource after it has been defined.

For a complete listing of all available datasource attributes, see the Datasource Attributes section.

12.4. Modifying Datasources

Datasources settings can be configured using the management console or the management CLI.

JBoss EAP 7 allows you to use expressions in datasource attribute values, such as the enabled attribute. See the Property Replacement section for details on using expressions in the configuration.

12.4.1. Modify a Non-XA Datasource

Non-XA datasource settings can be updated using the data-source management CLI command. You can also update datasource attributes from the management console in standalone or domain mode:

  • In standalone mode, navigate to ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources.
  • In domain mode, navigate to ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources.
Note

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

Example of updating settings for a datasource

Settings for a datasource can be updated by using the following management CLI command.

data-source --name=DATASOURCE_NAME --ATTRIBUTE_NAME=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
Note

In a managed domain, you must specify the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

A server reload may be required for the changes to take effect.

12.4.2. Modify an XA Datasource

XA datasource settings can be updated using the xa-data-source management CLI command. You can also update datasource attributes from the management console in standalone or domain mode:

  • In standalone mode, navigate to ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources.
  • In domain mode, navigate to ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources.

Example of updating an XA datasource

  • Settings for an XA datasource can be updated by using the following management CLI command.

    xa-data-source --name=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME --ATTRIBUTE_NAME=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
    Note

    In a managed domain, you must specify the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

Example of adding an XA datasource property

  • An XA datasource property can be added using the following management CLI command.

    /subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME/xa-datasource-properties=PROPERTY:add(value=VALUE)
    Note

    In a managed domain, you must precede this command with /profile=PROFILE_NAME.

A server reload may be required for the changes to take effect.

12.5. Removing Datasources

Datasources can be removed using the management console or the management CLI.

12.5.1. Remove a Non-XA Datasource

Non-XA datasources can be removed using the data-source remove management CLI command. You can also use the management console in standalone or domain mode to remove datasources:

  • In standalone mode, navigate to ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources.
  • In domain mode, navigate to ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources.

Use the following command to remove a non-XA datasource:

data-source remove --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
Note

In a managed domain, you must specify the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

The server will require a reload after the datasource is removed.

12.5.2. Remove an XA Datasource

XA datasources can be removed using the xa-data-source remove management CLI command. You can also use the management console in standalone or domain mode to remove datasources:

  • In standalone mode, navigate to ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources.
  • In domain mode, navigate to ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources.

Use the following command to remove an XA datasource:

xa-data-source remove --name=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME
Note

In a managed domain, you must specify the --profile=PROFILE_NAME argument.

The server will require a reload after the XA datasource is removed.

12.6. Testing datasource connections

You can use the management CLI or management console to test a datasource connection to verify that its settings are correct.

Test a datasource connection using the management CLI

The following management CLI command can be used to test a datasource’s connection.

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:test-connection-in-pool
Note

In a managed domain, you must precede this command with /host=HOST_NAME/server=SERVER_NAME. If you are testing an XA datasource, replace data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME with xa-data-source=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME.

Test a datasource connection using the management console

When using the Add Datasource wizard in the management console, you have the opportunity to test the connection before creating the datasource. On the Test Connection screen of the wizard, click the Test Connection button.

When a datasource is added, you can test the connection by using the following procedure:

  1. Navigate to ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources in standalone mode or ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources in domain mode.
  2. Select the datasource.
  3. Select Test Connection from the drop-down list.

12.7. Flushing Datasource Connections

You can flush datasource connections using the following management CLI commands.

Note

In a managed domain, you must precede these commands with /host=HOST_NAME/server=SERVER_NAME.

  • Flush all connections in the pool.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:flush-all-connection-in-pool
  • Gracefully flush all connections in the pool.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:flush-gracefully-connection-in-pool

    The server will wait until connections become idle before flushing them.

  • Flush all idle connections in the pool.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:flush-idle-connection-in-pool
  • Flush all invalid connections in the pool.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=DATASOURCE_NAME:flush-invalid-connection-in-pool

    The server will flush all connections that it determines to be invalid, for example, by the valid-connection-checker-class-name or check-valid-connection-sql validation mechanism discussed in Database Connection Validation.

You can also flush connections using the management console. From the Runtime tab, select the server, select Datasources, choose a datasource, and use the drop down to select the appropriate action.

12.8. XA Datasource Recovery

An XA datasource is a datasource that can participate in an XA global transaction, which is coordinated by the transaction manager and can span multiple resources in a single transaction. If one of the participants fails to commit its changes, the other participants abort the transaction and restore their state as it was before the transaction occurred. This is to maintain consistency and avoid potential data loss or corruption.

XA recovery is the process of ensuring that all resources affected by a transaction are updated or rolled back, even if any of the resources or transaction participants crash or become unavailable. XA recovery happens without user intervention.

Each XA resource needs to have a recovery module associated with its configuration. The recovery module is the code that is executed when recovery is being performed. JBoss EAP automatically registers recovery modules for JDBC XA resources. You can register a custom module with your XA datasource if you wish to implement custom recovery code. The recovery module must extend class com.arjuna.ats.jta.recovery.XAResourceRecovery.

12.8.1. Configuring XA Recovery

For most JDBC resources, the recovery module is automatically associated with the resource. In these cases, you only need to configure the options that allow the recovery module to connect to your resource to perform recovery.

The following table describes the XA datasource parameters specific to XA recovery. Each of these configuration attributes can be set during datasource creation or afterward. You can set them using either the management console or the management CLI. See Modify an XA Datasource for information on configuring XA datasources.

Table 12.2. Datasource Parameters for XA Recovery

AttributeDescription

recovery-username

The user name to use to connect to the resource for recovery. Note that if this is not specified, the datasource security settings will be used.

recovery-password

The password to use to connect to the resource for recovery. Note that if this is not specified, the datasource security settings will be used.

recovery-security-domain

The security domain to use to connect to the resource for recovery.

recovery-plugin-class-name

If you need to use a custom recovery module, set this attribute to the fully-qualified class name of the module. The module should extend class com.arjuna.ats.jta.recovery.XAResourceRecovery.

recovery-plugin-properties

If you use a custom recovery module which requires properties to be set, set this attribute to the list of comma-separated KEY=VALUE pairs for the properties.

Disable XA Recovery

If multiple XA datasources connect to the same physical database, then XA recovery typically needs to be configured for only one of them.

Use the following management CLI command to disable recovery for an XA datasource:

/subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME:write-attribute(name=no-recovery,value=true)

12.8.2. Vendor-Specific XA Recovery

Vendor-Specific Configuration

Some databases require specific configurations in order to cooperate in XA transactions managed by the JBoss EAP transaction manager. For detailed and up-to-date information, see your database vendor’s documentation.

MySQL
No special configuration is required. For more information, see the MySQL documentation.
Note

For automated XA recovery, MySQL 8 and later requires special configuration. For more information, see the JBoss EAP 7.4 supported configurations.

PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus Advanced Server
For PostgreSQL to be able to handle XA transactions, change the configuration parameter max_prepared_transactions to a value greater than 0 and equal to or greater than max_connections.
Oracle

Ensure that the Oracle user, USER, has access to the tables needed for recovery.

GRANT SELECT ON sys.dba_pending_transactions TO USER;
GRANT SELECT ON sys.pending_trans$ TO USER;
GRANT SELECT ON sys.dba_2pc_pending TO USER;
GRANT EXECUTE ON sys.dbms_xa TO USER;

If the Oracle user does not have the proper permissions, you may see an error such as the following:

WARN  [com.arjuna.ats.jta.logging.loggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.recovery.xarecovery1] Local XARecoveryModule.xaRecovery  got XA exception javax.transaction.xa.XAException, XAException.XAER_RMERR
Microsoft SQL Server
For more information, see the Microsoft SQL Server documentation, including http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa342335.aspx.
IBM DB2
No special configuration is required. For more information, see the IBM DB2 documentation.
Sybase

Sybase expects XA transactions to be enabled on the database. Without correct database configuration, XA transactions will not work. The enable xact coordination parameter enables or disables Adaptive Server transaction coordination services. When this parameter is enabled, Adaptive Server ensures that updates to remote Adaptive Server data commit or roll back with the original transaction.

To enable transaction coordination, use:

sp_configure 'enable xact coordination', 1
MariaDB
No special configuration is required. For more information, see the MariaDB documentation.
Known Issues

These known issues with handling XA transactions are for the specific database and JDBC driver versions supported with JBoss EAP 7. For up-to-date information on the supported databases, see JBoss EAP supported configurations.

MySQL
MySQL is not fully capable of handling XA transactions. If a client is disconnected from MySQL, then all the information about such transactions is lost. See this MySQL bug for more information. Note that this issue was fixed in MySQL 5.7.
PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus Advanced Server

The JDBC driver returns the XAER_RMERR XAException error code when a network failure occurs during the commit phase of two-phase commit (2PC). This error signals an unrecoverable catastrophic event to the transaction manager, but the transaction is left in the in-doubt state on the database side and could be easily corrected after network connection is established again. The correct return code should be XAER_RMFAIL or XAER_RETRY. The incorrect error code causes the transaction to be left in the Heuristic state on the JBoss EAP side and holding locks in the database which requires manual intervention. See this PostgreSQL bug for more information.

If a connection failure happens when the one-phase commit optimization is used, the JDBC driver returns XAER_RMERR, but the XAER_RMFAIL error code should be returned. This could lead to data inconsistency if the database commits data during one-phase commit and the connection goes down at that moment, then the client is informed that transaction was rolled back.

The Postgres Plus JDBC driver returns XIDs for all prepared transactions that exist in the Postgres Plus Server, so there is no way to determine the database to which the XID belongs. If you define more than one data source for the same database in JBoss EAP, an in-doubt transaction recovery attempt could be run under wrong account, which causes the recovery to fail.

Oracle

The JDBC driver returns XIDs belonging to all users on the database instance, when the Recovery Manager calls recovery using datasource configured with some user credentials. The JDBC driver throws the exception ORA-24774: cannot switch to specified transaction because it tries to recover XIDs belonging to other users.

The workaround for this issue is to grant FORCE ANY TRANSACTION privilege to the user whose credentials are used in recovery datasource configuration. More information about configuring the privilege can be found here: http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/ds_txnman.htm#ADMIN12259.

Microsoft SQL Server

The JDBC driver returns the XAER_RMERR XAException error code when a network failure occurs during the commit phase of two-phase commit (2PC). This error signals an unrecoverable catastrophic event to the transaction manager, but the transaction is left in the in-doubt state on the database side and could be easily corrected after network connection is established again. The correct return code should be XAER_RMFAIL or XAER_RETRY. The incorrect error code causes the transaction to be left in the Heuristic state on the JBoss EAP side and holding locks in the database which requires manual intervention. See this Microsoft SQL Server issue report for more information.

If a connection failure happens when the one-phase commit optimization is used, the JDBC driver returns XAER_RMERR, but the XAER_RMFAIL error code should be returned. This could lead to data inconsistency if the database commits data during one-phase commit and the connection goes down at that moment, then the client is informed that transaction was rolled back.

IBM DB2
If a connection failure happens during a one-phase commit, the JDBC driver returns XAER_RETRY, but the XAER_RMFAIL error code should be returned. This could lead to data inconsistency if the database commits data during one-phase commit and the connection goes down at that moment, then the client is informed that transaction was rolled back.
Sybase

The JDBC driver returns the XAER_RMERR XAException error code when a network failure occurs during the commit phase of two-phase commit (2PC). This error signals an unrecoverable catastrophic event to the transaction manager, but the transaction is left in the in-doubt state on the database side and could be easily corrected after network connection is established again. The correct return code should be XAER_RMFAIL or XAER_RETRY. The incorrect error code causes the transaction to be left in the Heuristic state on the JBoss EAP side and holding locks in the database which requires manual intervention.

If a connection failure happens when the one-phase commit optimization is used, the JDBC driver returns XAER_RMERR, but the XAER_RMFAIL error code should be returned. This could lead to data inconsistency if the database commits data during one-phase commit and the connection goes down at that moment, then the client is informed that transaction was rolled back.

If an XA transaction that includes an insert to a Sybase 15.7 or 16 database fails before the Sybase transaction branch is in a prepared state, then repeating the XA transaction and inserting the same record with the same primary key will fail with an error of com.sybase.jdbc4.jdbc.SybSQLException: Attempt to insert duplicate key row. This exception will be thrown until the original unfinished Sybase transaction branch is rolled back.

MariaDB
MariaDB is not fully capable of handling XA transactions. If a client is disconnected from MariaDB, then all the information about such transactions is lost.
MariaDB Galera Cluster
XA transactions are not supported in MariaDB Galera Cluster.

12.9. Database Connection Validation

Database maintenance, network problems, or other outage events may cause JBoss EAP to lose the connection to the database. In order to recover from these situations, you can enable database connection validation for your datasources.

To configure database connection validation, you specify the validation timing method to define when the validation occurs, the validation mechanism to determine how the validation is performed, and the exception sorter to define how exceptions are handled.

  1. Choose one of the validation timing methods.

    validate-on-match

    When the validate-on-match method is set to true, the database connection is validated every time it is checked out from the connection pool using the validation mechanism specified in the next step.

    If a connection is not valid, a warning is written to the log and the next connection in the pool is retrieved. This process continues until a valid connection is found. If you prefer not to cycle through every connection in the pool, you can use the use-fast-fail option. If a valid connection is not found in the pool, a new connection is created. If the connection creation fails, an exception is returned to the requesting application.

    background-validation

    When the background-validation method is set to true, connections are validated periodically in a background thread prior to use. The frequency of the validation is specified by the background-validation-millis property. The default value of background-validation-millis is 0, meaning that it is disabled.

    When determining the value of the background-validation-millis property, consider the following:

    • This value should not be set to the same value as your idle-timeout-minutes setting.
    • The lower the value, the more frequently the pool is validated and the sooner invalid connections are removed from the pool.
    • Lower values take more database resources. Higher values result in less frequent connection validation checks and use less database resources, but dead connections are undetected for longer periods of time.
    Note

    These validation methods are mutually exclusive as demonstrated in the following examples:

    • If validate-on-match is set to true, you must set background-validation to false.
    • If background-validation is set to true, you must set validate-on-match to false.

    For a comparison matrix for these validation methods, see Comparison of validation timing methods.

  2. Choose one of the validation mechanisms.

    valid-connection-checker-class-name

    Using valid-connection-checker-class-name is the preferred validation mechanism. This specifies a connection checker class that is used to validate connections for the particular database in use. JBoss EAP provides the following connection checkers:

    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.db2.DB2ValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mssql.MSSQLValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLReplicationValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.novendor.JDBC4ValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.novendor.NullValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.postgres.PostgreSQLValidConnectionChecker
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.sybase.SybaseValidConnectionChecker
    check-valid-connection-sql

    Using check-valid-connection-sql, you provide the SQL statement that will be used to validate the connection.

    The following is an example SQL statement that you might use to validate Oracle connections.

    select 1 from dual

    The following is an example SQL statement that you might use to validate MySQL or PostgreSQL connections.

    select 1
  3. Set the exception sorter class name.

    When an exception is marked as fatal, the connection is closed immediately, even if the connection is participating in a transaction. Use the exception sorter class option to properly detect and clean up after fatal connection exceptions. Choose the appropriate JBoss EAP exception sorter for your datasource type.

    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.db2.DB2ExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.informix.InformixExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mssql.MSSQLExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.novendor.NullExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.postgres.PostgreSQLExceptionSorter
    • org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.sybase.SybaseExceptionSorter

12.10. Datasource Security

Datasource security refers to encrypting or obscuring passwords for datasource connections. These passwords can be stored in plain text in configuration files, but this represents a security risk.

There are several methods you can use for datasource security. Examples of each are included below.

Note

If you use the legacy security subsystem, you can configure a security domain to use LDAP for authenticating and authorizing a datasource connection. For more details about configuring a security domain, see Configuring a security domain.

Secure a Datasource Using a Security Domain

Use the following steps to secure a datasource using a security domain:

  1. Create the new security domain.

    /subsystem=security/security-domain=DsRealm:add(cache-type=default)
    /subsystem=security/security-domain=DsRealm/authentication=classic:add(login-modules=[{code=ConfiguredIdentity,flag=required,module-options={userName=sa,
    principal=sa, password=sa}}])

    A security domain for the datasource is defined. The following XML extract is the result of calling CLI commands.

     <security-domain name="DsRealm" cache-type="default">
      <authentication>
        <login-module code="ConfiguredIdentity" flag="required">
          <module-option name="userName" value="sa"/>
          <module-option name="principal" value="sa"/>
          <module-option name="password" value="sa"/>
        </login-module>
      </authentication>
    </security-domain>
  2. Add a new datasource.

    data-source add --name=securityDs
    --jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/securityDs
    --connection-url=jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1 --driver-name=h2
    --new-connection-sql="select current_user()"
  3. Set the security domain on the datasource.

    data-source --name=securityDs --security-domain=DsRealm
  4. Reload the server for the changes to be effective.

    reload
Note

If you are using a security domain with multiple datasources, disable caching on the security domain. This can be accomplished by setting the value of the cache-type attribute to none or by removing the attribute altogether; however, if caching is desired, use a separate security domain for each datasource.

The following XML extract shows the datasource secured with the DsRealm.

<datasources>
  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/securityDs"
    pool-name="securityDs">
    <connection-url>jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1</connection-url>
      <driver>h2</driver>
      <new-connection-sql>select current_user()</new-connection-sql>
      <security>
        <security-domain>DsRealm</security-domain>
      </security>
    </datasource>
</datasources>

For more information on using Security Domains, see How to Configure Identity Management.

Secure a Datasource Using a Password Vault

Use the following steps to secure a datasource using a password vault:

  1. Set the password vault for the ExampleDS datasource.

    data-source --name=ExampleDS
    --password=${VAULT::ds_ExampleDS::password::N2NhZDYzOTMtNWE0OS00ZGQ0LWE4MmEtMWNlMDMyNDdmNmI2TElORV9CUkVBS3ZhdWx0}
  2. Reload the server to implement the changes.

    reload

The following XML security element is added to the ExampleDS datasource secured with password vault.

<security>
  <user-name>admin</user-name>
  <password>${VAULT::ds_ExampleDS::password::N2NhZDYzOTMtNWE0OS00ZGQ0LWE4MmEtMWNlMDMyNDdmNmI2TElORV9CUkVBS3ZhdWx0}</password>
</security>

For more information on using the Password Vault, see the Password Vault section in the JBoss EAP How to Configure Server Security guide.

Secure a Datasource Using a Credential Store

You can also use a credential store to provide passwords. The elytron subsystem provides the ability to create credential stores to securely house and use your passwords throughout JBoss EAP. You can find more details on creating and using credential stores in the Credential Store section in the JBoss EAP How to Configure Server Security guide.

Adding a Credential Store Reference to ExampleDS

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=credential-reference,value={store=exampleCS, alias=example-ds-pw})

Secure a Datasource Using an Authentication Context

You can also use an Elytron authentication context to provide usernames and passwords.

Use the following steps to configure and use an authentication context for datasource security.

  1. Remove password and user-name.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:undefine-attribute(name=password)
    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:undefine-attribute(name=user-name)
  2. Enable Elytron security for the datasource.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=elytron-enabled,value=true)
    
    reload
  3. Create an authentication-configuration for your credentials.

    The authentication configuration contains the credentials you want your datasource to use when making a connection. The below example uses a reference to a credential store, but you could also use an Elytron security domain.

    /subsystem=elytron/authentication-configuration=exampleAuthConfig:add(authentication-name=sa,credential-reference={clear-text=sa})
  4. Create an authentication-context.

    /subsystem=elytron/authentication-context=exampleAuthContext:add(match-rules=[{authentication-configuration=exampleAuthConfig}])
  5. Update the datasource to use the authentication context.

    The below example updates ExampleDS to use an authentication context.

    /subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=authentication-context,value=exampleAuthContext)
    
    reload
    Note

    If authentication-context attribute is not set and elytron-enabled attribute is set to true, JBoss EAP will use the current context for authentication.

Secure a Datasource using Kerberos

To secure a datasource using kerberos authentication, the following configuration is required:

  • Kerberos is configured on the database server.
  • JBoss EAP host server has a keytab entry for the database server.

To secure a datasource using kerberos:

  1. Configure JBoss EAP to use kerberos.

    /system-property=java.security.krb5.conf:add(value="/path/to/krb5.conf")
    /system-property=sun.security.krb5.debug:add(value="false")
    /system-property=sun.security.spnego.debug:add(value="false")

    For debugging, change the values of sun.security.krb5.debug and sun.security.spnego.debug to true. In a production environment, it is recommended to set the values to false.

  2. Configure security.

    You can use legacy security or Elytron security to secure a datasource.

    • To use kerberos with legacy security:

      1. Configure infinispan cache to periodically remove expired tickets from cache.

        batch
        /subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=security:add(default-cache=auth-cache)
        /subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=security/local-cache=auth-cache:add()
        /subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=security/local-cache=auth-cache/expiration=EXPIRATION:add(lifespan=3540000,max-idle=3540000)
        /subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=security/local-cache=auth-cache/memory=object:add(size=1000)
        run-batch

        The following attributes define ticket expiration:

        • lifespan: Interval, in milliseconds, at which new certificates are requested from the KDC. Set the value of the lifespan attribute to be just smaller than the lifespan defined by the KDC.
        • max-idle: Interval, in milliseconds, at which a valid ticket should be removed from the cache, if it unused.
        • max-entries: The maximum number copies of the kerberos tickets to keep in cache. The value corresponds to the number of configured connections in your datasource.
      2. Create a security domain.

        batch
        /subsystem=security/security-domain=KerberosDatabase:add(cache-type=infinispan)
        /subsystem=security/security-domain=KerberosDatabase/authentication=classic:add
        /subsystem=security/security-domain=KerberosDatabase/authentication=classic/login-module="KerberosDatabase-Module":add(code="org.jboss.security.negotiation.KerberosLoginModule",module="org.jboss.security.negotiation",flag=required, module-options={ "debug" => "false", "storeKey" => "false", "useKeyTab" => "true", "keyTab" => "/path/to/eap.keytab", "principal" => "PRINCIPAL@SERVER.COM", "doNotPrompt" => "true", "refreshKrb5Config" => "true", "isInitiator" => "true", "addGSSCredential" => "true", "credentialLifetime" => "-1"})
        run-batch
        • When using Microsoft JDBC driver for SQL server, add attribute and value "wrapGSSCredential" ⇒ "true" in module-options.
        • For debugging, change the value of the debug attribute in module-options to true.
    • To use kerberos with Elytron:

      1. Set up a kerberos factory in Elytron.

        /subsystem=elytron/kerberos-security-factory=krbsf:add(debug=false, principal=PRINCIPAL@SERVER.COM, path=/path/to/keytab, request-lifetime=-1, obtain-kerberos-ticket=true, server=false)
        • For debugging, add attribute and value debug = true.

          For a list of supported attributes, see the Kerberos Security Factory Attributes section in the How to Configure Server Security guide.

      2. Create an authentication configuration to use the kerberos factory.

        /subsystem=elytron/authentication-configuration=kerberos-conf:add(kerberos-security-factory=krbsf)
      3. Create an authentication context.

        /subsystem=elytron/authentication-context=ds-context:add(match-rules=[{authentication-configuration=kerberos-conf}])
  3. Secure the datasource with kerberos.

    • If you use legacy security:

      1. Configure the datasource to use a security domain.

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS:add(connection-url="URL", min-pool-size=0, max-pool-size=10, jndi-name="java:jboss/datasource/KerberosDS", driver-name=<jdbc-driver>.jar, security-domain=KerberosDatabase, allow-multiple-users=false, pool-prefill=false, pool-use-strict-min=false, idle-timeout-minutes=2)
      2. Configure vendor-specific connection properties.

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS/connection-properties=<connection-property-name>:add(value="(<kerberos-value>)")

        Example: connection properties for Oracle database.

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS/connection-properties=oracle.net.authentication_services:add(value="(KERBEROS5)")
    • If you use Elytron:

      1. Configure the datasource to use an authentication context.

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS:add(connection-url="URL", min-pool-size=0, max-pool-size=10, jndi-name="java:jboss/datasource/KerberosDS", driver-name=<jdbc-driver>.jar, elytron-enabled=true, authentication-context=ds-context, allow-multiple-users=false, pool-prefill=false, pool-use-strict-min=false, idle-timeout-minutes=2)
      2. Configure vendor-specific connection properties.

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS/connection-properties=<connection-property-name>:add(value="(<kerberos-value>)")

        Example: connection properties for Oracle database

        /subsystem=datasources/data-source=KerberosDS/connection-properties=oracle.net.authentication_services:add(value="(KERBEROS5)")

      When using kerberos authentication, it is recommended to use the following attributes and values for the datasource:

      • pool-prefill=false
      • pool-use-strict-min=false
      • idle-timeout-minutes

    For a list of supported attributes, see Datasource Attributes.

12.11. Datasource Statistics

When statistics collection is enabled for a datasource, you can view runtime statistics for the datasource.

12.11.1. Enabling Datasource Statistics

By default, datasource statistics are not enabled. You can enable datasource statistics collection using the management CLI or the management console.

Enable Datasource Statistics Using the Management CLI

The following management CLI command enables the collection of statistics for the ExampleDS datasource.

Note

In a managed domain, precede this command with /profile=PROFILE_NAME.

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=statistics-enabled,value=true)

Reload the server for the changes to take effect.

Enable Datasource Statistics Using the Management Console

Use the following steps to enable statistics collection for a datasource using the management console.

  1. Navigate to datasources in standalone or domain mode.

    • Use the following navigation in the standalone mode:

      ConfigurationSubsystemsDatasources & DriversDatasources

    • Use the following navigation in the domain mode:

      ConfigurationProfilesfullDatasources & DriversDatasources

  2. Select the datasource and click View.
  3. Click Edit under the Attributes tab.
  4. Set the Statistics Enabled field to ON and click Save. A popup appears indicating that the changes require a reload in order to take effect.
  5. Reload the server.

    • For a standalone server, click the Reload link from the popup to reload the server.
    • For a managed domain, click the Topology link from the popup. From the Topology tab, select the appropriate server and select the Reload drop down option to reload the server.

12.11.2. Viewing Datasource Statistics

You can view runtime statistics for a datasource using the management CLI or management console.

View Datasource Statistics Using the Management CLI

The following management CLI command retrieves the core pool statistics for the ExampleDS datasource.

Note

In a managed domain, precede these commands with /host=HOST_NAME/server=SERVER_NAME.

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS/statistics=pool:read-resource(include-runtime=true)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "ActiveCount" => 1,
        "AvailableCount" => 20,
        "AverageBlockingTime" => 0L,
        "AverageCreationTime" => 122L,
        "AverageGetTime" => 128L,
        "AveragePoolTime" => 0L,
        "AverageUsageTime" => 0L,
        "BlockingFailureCount" => 0,
        "CreatedCount" => 1,
        "DestroyedCount" => 0,
        "IdleCount" => 1,
        ...
}

The following management CLI command retrieves the JDBC statistics for the ExampleDS datasource.

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS/statistics=jdbc:read-resource(include-runtime=true)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "PreparedStatementCacheAccessCount" => 0L,
        "PreparedStatementCacheAddCount" => 0L,
        "PreparedStatementCacheCurrentSize" => 0,
        "PreparedStatementCacheDeleteCount" => 0L,
        "PreparedStatementCacheHitCount" => 0L,
        "PreparedStatementCacheMissCount" => 0L,
        "statistics-enabled" => true
    }
}
Note

Since statistics are runtime information, be sure to specify the include-runtime=true argument.

See Datasource Statistics for a detailed list of all available statistics.

View Datasource Statistics Using the Management Console

To view datasource statistics from the management console, navigate to the Datasources subsystem from the Runtime tab, select a datasource, and click View.

See Datasource Statistics for a detailed list of all available statistics.

12.12. Datasource Tuning

For tips on monitoring and optimizing performance for the datasources subsystem, see the Datasource and Resource Adapter Tuning section of the Performance Tuning Guide.

12.13. Capacity Policies

JBoss EAP supports defining capacity polices for Jakarta Connectors deployments, including datasources. Capacity policies define how physical connections for a pool are created, referred to as capacity incrementing, and destroyed, referred to as capacity decrementing. The default policies are set to create one connection per request for capacity incrementing, and destroy all connections when they time out when the idle timeout is scheduled for capacity decrementing.

To configure capacity polices, you need to specify a capacity incrementer class, a capacity decrementer class, or both.

Example: Defining Capacity Policies

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=capacity-incrementer-class, value="org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.SizeIncrementer")

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=capacity-decrementer-class, value="org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.SizeDecrementer")

You can also configure properties on the specified capacity incrementer or decrementer class.

Example: Configuring Properties for Capacity Policies

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=capacity-incrementer-properties.size, value=2)

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:write-attribute(name=capacity-decrementer-properties.size, value=2)

MaxPoolSize Incrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.MaxPoolSizeIncrementer

The MaxPoolSize incrementer policy will fill the pool to its max size for each request. This policy is useful when you want to keep the maximum number of connections available all the time.

Size Incrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.SizeIncrementer

The Size incrementer policy will fill the pool by the specified number of connections for each request. This policy is useful when you want to increment with an additional number of connections per request in anticipation that the next request will also need a connection.

Table 12.3. Size policy properties

NameDescription

Size

The number of connections that should be created

Note

This is the default increment policy, and has a size value of 1.

Watermark Incrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.WatermarkIncrementer

The Watermark incrementer policy will fill the pool to the specified number of connections for each request. This policy is useful when you want to keep a specified number of connections in the pool at all time.

Table 12.4. Watermark policy properties

NameDescription

Watermark

The watermark level for the number of connections

MinPoolSize Decrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.MinPoolSizeDecrementer

The MinPoolSize decrementer policy will decrement the pool to its min size for each request. This policy is useful when you want to limit the number of connections after each idle timeout request. The pool will operate in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

Size Decrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.SizeDecrementer

The Size decrementer policy will decrement the pool by the specified number of connections for each idle timeout request.

Table 12.5. Size policy properties

NameDescription

Size

The number of connections that should be destroyed

This policy is useful when you want to decrement an additional number of connections per idle timeout request in anticipation that the pool usage will lower over time.

The pool will operate in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

TimedOut Decrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.TimedOutDecrementer

The TimedOut decrementer policy will removed all connections that have timed out from the pool for each idle timeout request. The pool will operate in a First In Last Out (FILO) manner.

Note

This policy is the default decrement policy.

TimedOut/FIFO Decrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.TimedOutFIFODecrementer

The TimedOutFIFO decrementer policy will removed all connections that have timed out from the pool for each idle timeout request. The pool will operate in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

Watermark Decrementer Policy

Class name: org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.capacity.WatermarkDecrementer

The Watermark decrementer policy will decrement the pool to the specified number of connections for each idle timeout request. This policy is useful when you want to keep a specified number of connections in the pool at all time. The pool will operate in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

Table 12.6. Watermark policy properties

NameDescription

Watermark

The watermark level for the number of connections

12.14. Enlistment Tracing

Enlistment traces can be recorded in order to help locate error situations that happen during enlistment of XAResource instances. When enlistment tracing is enabled, the jca subsystem creates an exception object for every pool operation, so that an accurate stack trace can be produced if necessary; however, this does come with performance overhead.

As of JBoss EAP 7.1, enlistment tracing is disabled by default. You can enable the recording of enlistment traces for a datasource using the management CLI by setting the enlistment-trace attribute to true.

Enable enlistment tracing for a non-XA datasource.

data-source --name=DATASOURCE_NAME --enlistment-trace=true

Enable enlistment tracing for an XA datasource.

xa-data-source --name=XA_DATASOURCE_NAME --enlistment-trace=true
Warning

Enabling enlistment tracing can cause a performance impact.

12.15. Example Datasource Configurations

12.15.1. Example MySQL Datasource

This is an example of a MySQL datasource configuration with connection information, basic security, and validation options.

Example: MySQL Datasource Configuration

    Important

    Using the module management CLI command to add and remove modules is provided as Technology Preview only. This command is not appropriate for use in a managed domain or when connecting to the management CLI remotely. Modules should be added and removed manually in a production environment.

    Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

    See Technology Preview Features Support Scope on the Red Hat Customer Portal for information about the support scope for Technology Preview features.

  2. Register the MySQL JDBC driver.

Example Management CLI Commands

This example configuration can be achieved by using the following management CLI commands.

  1. Add the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver as a core module.

    module add --name=com.microsoft --resources=/path/to/sqljdbc42.jar --dependencies=javax.api,javax.transaction.api,javax.xml.bind.api,javaee.api,sun.jdk,ibm.jdk
    Important

    Using the module management CLI command to add and remove modules is provided as Technology Preview only. This command is not appropriate for use in a managed domain or when connecting to the management CLI remotely. Modules should be added and removed manually in a production environment.

    Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

    See Technology Preview Features Support Scope on the Red Hat Customer Portal for information about the support scope for Technology Preview features.

  2. Register the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver.

    /subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=sqlserver:add(driver-name=sqlserver,driver-module-name=com.microsoft,driver-xa-datasource-class-name=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerXADataSource)

<datasources>
  <xa-datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/MariaDBXADS" pool-name="MariaDBXADS">
    <xa-datasource-property name="ServerName">
      localhost
    </xa-datasource-property>
    <xa-datasource-property name="DatabaseName">
      mariadbdb
    </xa-datasource-property>
    <driver>mariadb</driver>
    <security>
      <user-name>admin</user-name>
      <password>admin</password>
    </security>
    <validation>
      <valid-connection-checker class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLValidConnectionChecker"/>
      <validate-on-match>true</validate-on-match>
      <background-validation>false</background-validation>
      <exception-sorter class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLExceptionSorter"/>
    </validation>
  </xa-datasource>
  <drivers>
    <driver name="mariadb" module="org.mariadb">
      <driver-class>org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
      <xa-datasource-class>org.mariadb.jdbc.MySQLDataSource</xa-datasource-class>
    </driver>
  </drivers>
</datasources>
Example: MariaDB JDBC Driver module.xml File
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.mariadb">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="mariadb-java-client-3.3.0.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="javaee.api"/>
    <module name="sun.jdk"/>
    <module name="ibm.jdk"/>
    <module name="javax.api"/>
    <module name="org.slf4j"/>
    <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>
Example Management CLI Commands

This example configuration can be achieved by using the following management CLI commands.

  1. Add the MariaDB JDBC driver as a core module.

    module add --name=org.mariadb --resources=/path/to/mariadb-java-client-3.3.0.jar --dependencies=javaee.api,sun.jdk,ibm.jdk,javax.api,javax.transaction.api,org.slf4j
    Important

    Using the module management CLI command to add and remove modules is provided as Technology Preview only. This command is not appropriate for use in a managed domain or when connecting to the management CLI remotely. Modules should be added and removed manually in a production environment.

    Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

    See Technology Preview Features Support Scope on the Red Hat Customer Portal for information about the support scope for Technology Preview features.

  2. Register the MariaDB JDBC driver.

    /subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=mariadb:add(driver-name=mariadb,driver-module-name=org.mariadb,driver-xa-datasource-class-name=org.mariadb.jdbc.MySQLDataSource, driver-class-name=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver)
  3. Add the MariaDB XA datasource.

    xa-data-source add --name=MariaDBXADS --jndi-name=java:jboss/MariaDBXADS --driver-name=mariadb --user-name=admin --password=admin --validate-on-match=true --background-validation=false --valid-connection-checker-class-name=org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLValidConnectionChecker --exception-sorter-class-name=org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mysql.MySQLExceptionSorter --xa-datasource-properties={"ServerName"=>"localhost","DatabaseName"=>"mariadbdb"}
