Integrating NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver With JBoss Applications

Place the sqlmx-ds.xml file in the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy directory.

Also, from the same directory (JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy), remove the existing hsqldb-

ds.xml file. This will prevent the duplicate definition of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)

named “DefaultDS” during the server startup process.

Copying the t4sqlmx.jar file

The sqlmx-ds.xml file from the “Configuring JDBC Type 4 data source files for the JBoss Application

Server” section defines the SQLMXDriver as the driver class to be used for the DefaultDS datasource.

This driver class is part of the t4sqlmx.jar file and must be made available to the JBoss environment at

runtime.

To do this, copy the TYPE4_HOME/lib/t4sqlmx.jar file to the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib

directory.

Starting the JBoss Application Server

Start the default JBoss Application Server by executing the startup script—run.bat—located at

JBOSS_HOME/bin.

Note: There may be some JMS related errors that you can safely ignore because the Duke’s Bank

sample does not use any JMS code.

Deploying and running the sample

Deployment using the JBoss Application Server is easy: You just have to copy the EAR file to the

deploy directory. There’s also a target in the build file for this purpose, so you can type

ant -f jboss-build.xml deploy

This will assemble the EAR file and deploy it. You should see something close to the following output

from the server (shortened here somewhat for brevity):

If there are any errors or exceptions, make a note of the error message and the point at which it

occurred (for example, during the deployment of a particular EJB, the Web application, and so on).
