Configuring an application for Jboss

[Omar Perez]

Greetings folks I previously used tomcat (web containter) to run my applications, but now I'm facing the challange to switch to Jboss/Maven. I don't know what changes should I make to in my application (dynamic web application or nor).

I'm using JPA 2.0 Annotations
MySQL/JDBC Connector

I'm going to use jsf myFaces/richfaces.

Most apps that run in Tomcat run as-is in JBoss AS. Try deploying the WAR and see what happens.

If you have database config stuff in Tomcat, you will have to instead use a *-ds.xml file on JBoss AS.

Thaknk you, the ds files holds details about the datasource as is configured in jboss AS7 or as is configured in the persistence.xml (JAP2.0/JDB)

Are you using AS7? Then the -ds.xml files won't work there. The -ds.xml files which Peter mentioned were for previous versions of JBoss AS. In AS7, the datasource configuration is done as explained here.

Thank you. yes I'm using AS7

It always helps to mention which version of JBoss AS you are using because the configuration does change (often radically) from version to version.
