Question

In JBoss data source how can I give multiple connection strings for database fail over in which I want .

There will be two Mysql db with same tables say DB1 and DB2. I want to insert data to DB1, if DB1 is down, then I need to insert it into DB2. During inserting into DB2 if the DB1 comes up I need to insert rest of the data into DB1. How can I configure this in my JBoss?

This will work for jboss mapping
