Richard,
While I've not tried what you are asking about, JBoss (and any J2EE server) will use a database via JDBC. There are two main JDBC drivers for MS SQL Server 2000 that I would recommend. One is the DataDirect JDBC driver (which is resold by Microsoft) and the Sprinta2000 or Opta2000 driver from i-net software in Germany. There are some technical gotchas working with MS SQL Server (support for two-phase commit via win32 but not via the network in version 7 - fixed in 2000). The support team and news lists from the i-net software site is excellent in describing these - but the latest versions *should* work fine with SQL Server 2000. The enterprise license is less than 2k$ as well - DataDirect was alot more last time I looked.
Link for i-net software is http://www.inetsoftware.de
Hope that helps...
And to the JBoss-dev list - jeez - way to shut down a newbie. Here is someone in a Microsoft shop bringing in J2EE and JBoss and not one message was helpful and a couple were downright mean. "No you are wrong" and "don't post here". But you'll talk about eclipse all day long and that is appropriate?
Ok, rant is over - hope this doesn't start a war.
