I don't see any very complete docs on the subject with a quick look.

There is some info here on how to set up jta-datasource in persistence.xml:

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/datasource-connectionfactory-mdb-and-jpa.html

You also need to make sure the module/plugin with the datasource is in the ancestors of your app, typically by listing it directly as a dependency of your app in the geronimo plan. Maven can help you with this:

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/constructing-a-special-purpose-server-using-maven.html

Hope this helps and inspires someone to make more complete, concise, and non-eclipse jpa documentation.

thanks

Is it in any way possible to access a database pool defined on the server merely by specifying a <jta-data-source> value in persistence.xml as with
other application servers? Currently, whatever value I put causes a
deployment failure.

I see that other people have the same problem as me all the time but I have not found a definitive answer. If I understand correctly, Geronimo requires a bunch of configuration files? Is it not possible to access the data source
with just the JEE standard files?

If I am required to create all of these config files, that kind of rules out
Geronimo for me because I have no generator to make them. I saw the
deployment plan generator in the console, but this is for an EAR not a WAR.

Thanks in advance for any help.
