Checked under Gatein 3.1.0-GA Final
only no-tx-datasource is supported in JCR 1.12
Under JBoss, just put a file XXX-ds.xml in the deploy server (example: \server\default\deploy). In this file, we will configure all datasources which eXo will need. (there should be 4 named: jdbcjcr_portal, jdbcjcr_portal-sample, jdbcidm_portal & jdbcidm_sample-portal).
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbcjcr_portal</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:${jboss.server.data.dir}/data/jdbcjcr_portal</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>sa</user-name>
<password></password>
</no-tx-datasource>
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbcjcr_sample-portal</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:${jboss.server.data.dir}/data/jdbcjcr_sample-portal</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>sa</user-name>
<password></password>
</no-tx-datasource>
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbcidm_portal</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:${jboss.server.data.dir}/data/jdbcidm_portal</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>sa</user-name>
<password></password>
</no-tx-datasource>
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbcidm_sample-portal</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:${jboss.server.data.dir}/data/jdbcidm_sample-portal</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver-class>
<user-name>sa</user-name>
<password></password>
</no-tx-datasource>
</datasources>
Which properties can be set for datasource can be found here: Configuring JDBC DataSources - The non transactional DataSource configuration schema
Edit server/default/conf/gatein/configuration.properties and comment out next rows in JCR section:
#gatein.jcr.datasource.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
#gatein.jcr.datasource.url=jdbc:hsqldb:file:${gatein.db.data.dir}/data/jdbcjcr_${name}
#gatein.jcr.datasource.username=sa
#gatein.jcr.datasource.password=and in IDM section:
#gatein.idm.datasource.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
#gatein.idm.datasource.url=jdbc:hsqldb:file:${gatein.db.data.dir}/data/jdbcidm_${name}
#gatein.idm.datasource.username=sa
#gatein.idm.datasource.password=In jcr-configuration.xml and idm-configuration.xml comment out the plugin InitialContextInitializer.
<!-- Commented because, Datasources are declared and bound by AS, not in eXo -->

Running eXo after these configurations goes well.
