Managing JBoss7: Datasource Configurations
We've begun working on datasource configurations within the web management interface. While it still requires some finishing touches, here's how regular and XA datasource configurations look like:
That looks nice. Hey, one idea-- have we considered putting more emphasis on convention and less on configuration? For instance, if we find an Oracle driver, maybe we could 'assume' the user wants OracleDS and OracleDS_XA. (Same with MySQL, etc.)
In that way, just putting a driver in the path would give them datasources, eh?
We could also do the same on the application side-- if we find only one datasource, that's the one they get! Or we could have them just choose the DB type.
Food for thought-- convention over configuration is really a big part of simplicity, and devs like it....
Thanks for the feedback Rick. I do completely agree. We are currently discussing various options on the mailing list: https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-as7-dev
