Creating a datasource on JBoss

Place the oracle database driver (ojdbc14.jar) in C:JBossjboss-5.1.0.CR1serverdefaultlib

Create the datasource xml file and place it in C:JBossjboss-5.1.0.CR1serverdefaultdeploy

oracle-ds.xml

<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>

<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
