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>
