As i understand it, with JBOSS 7, the data source is configured by creating a new module in $JBOSS_HOME/modules. This process includes adding the jar file for the jdbc driver to be used by the datasourced to be configured.

Is there any way i can configure a datasource without having to create a new module?

My web application has the MySQL Connector JDBC driver in the war file (in WEB-INF/lib – Included as part of the maven build). Wouldnt creating a new module result is a class conflict as this requires copying the jar file in the modules/../main/ folder?

    I think, with MySQL at least, you have to create it as a module. With compliant JDBC 4 you can deploy it as a JAR.

    I don’t know the details, but in JBoss AS 7.1.0 you will be able to use the -ds.xml files to describe your connection. There is some documentation on it here
