Question

While deploying my app I’m getting the following errors (I’ve also included subjectively significant warnings):

03:36:42,113 WARN  [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool] Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null: org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Failed to register driver for: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver; - nested throwable: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver from BaseClassLoader@66a8c396{vfs:///D:/MobilnyPodroznik/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core/JBoss_6.x_Runtime_Server1345902635716/deploy/MP01.jar}))

As for the whole console output: http://pastebin.com/de2Br9xL

Basically, it seems as if my JDBC driver is not visible, but I have placed the .jar both in the server’s default/lib folder and in project’s build path, thus I’m clueless now.

I have placed the DS XML file in default/deploy path of the JBoss server and mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin in default/lib, as indicated in the JBoss manual.

I’m using

• Eclipse, build 20120614-1722,
• JBoss AS 6,
• mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin driver.
• As for the MySQL, mysql –version prints out “mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.25a, for Win32 (X86)”.

My project build path

1. jre6
2. JBoss 6.x Runtime
3. MySQL JDBC Driver 5.0.8, including mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar [I have created it in Data Source Explorer)

Answer 1

All right, I’ve repeated all the steps from the beginning as a fresh morning man and it worked. Still don’t know why, but here’re a few things that might’ve solved the problem. Hope this helps to anyone who’s struggling to deploy his first Java EE + JPA application.

Here’re the steps I’ve followed:

• Downloaded mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar from
  http://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html#downloads
• Placed it in jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\lib
• Created a new Connection Profile in Eclipse using Data Source Explorer (I don’t know if that
  step is even necessary). In the wizard I’ve also created a new Driver
  Definition using the 5.0.8 connector. The ping succeeded and my
  database is visible from within the Data Source Explorer.
• Generated
  -ds.xml file from the CP mentioned in 3) using File->New->Other…->JBoss Tools Web->JBoss Datasource (-ds.xml)
  (using AS5 format) and placed it in
  jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy\Mysql_local-ds.xml as well as
  project’s META-INF\Mysql_local-ds.xml (corrected: when I placed it in
  both places simultaneously, I received ERROR
  [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] Error
  installing to Real: (…) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException:
  jboss.jca:name=MP01Datasource2,service=ManagedConnectionFactory is
  already installed.)
• I’ve added the db’s jar to build path usign [rmb
  on project]->Build Path->Configure Build Path…->Add
  Library->Connectivity Driver Definition and chose the one I’ve
  defined in 3)

I have also deleted some old .jar deployments from my other test projects that got stuck in the workspace.metadata.plugins\org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core\JBoss_6.x_Runtime_Server1345902635716\deploy folder (supposedly due to incorrect shutdown), but I sincerely doubt that was what helped.

I suppose the main cause might’ve been that as I was swapping the drivers and Driver Definitions (I’ve been moving from 5.1.sth to 5.0.8) I forgot to swap them in the pj’s build path as well and involuntarily left the old one.
