Alternatively you can use the firebird database adapter which natively supports jca. I guess to push this I should write a geronimo-ra.xml for it:-)

Hi,
Probably, I could be sending it directly to Dave J., but I think it may be relevant to others, too.
Deploying CMP entities may require database connections[*]. These connections are maintained by a J2EECA implementation of Geronimo. As we could read recently there is no JDBC connector. Thus, contrary to other J2EE application servers Geronimo must be provided with an J2EECA implementation that wraps JDBC that is configured to use a database. So, it's not as easy as including geronimo-ra.xml and ra.xml in META-INF of a CMP entity. Having them in the directory would tell Geronimo it's a connector instead of EJB (it does depend on what planner would be asked for deployment first).
So, what I'm missing is the implementation. OpenEJB Nova comes with one. How to deploy it?
[*] 'may' has been used as deploying CMP entities may not involve setting up a database as J2EE standard doesn't mandate it, but only recommends.
