Since the previous designs, mentioned at the beginning and end of this thread: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=59093, proved not to be feasible it is important to now find something which will definitely work. To that end the following approach is proposed based on the well trodden path of deploying drivers to /lib and datasources to /deploy.
Overall the approach requires two new templates to be implemented for use by the DeploymentService (http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=DeploymentService): 1) A template which takes a local URL to a driver jar and copies it into server//lib. If there is file with the same name already present in the lib directory the copy should not take place. There are a number of implications of this: a) This DeploymentService operation will always succeed, subject to hardware failure. It will either copy the driver jar successfully or not attempt to write it all. This way there are no issues with jars being locked and the copy failing. b) Just as is the case now, only one version of a driver jar will be recognized by the JBoss instance. c) Just as is the case now, updating a driver jar from one version to another will require shutting JBoss down, removing the old jar from /lib and putting in the new one. As now, this will affect all datasources which use the driver class from that jar. d) A user of the Admin Console will not have to upload a driver jar if they just want to use one that already exists in the /lib directory. In this case the Admin Console will simply not call the DeploymentService with this new template. e) When creating a new datasource and uploading a new driver, the new datasource will require a server restart to become available. 2) A template which takes the various properties for a datasource and build the appropriate Local no-Tx, Local Tx or XA -ds.xml file. The Deployment service will then copy the -ds.xml to the /deploy directory. This may in fact turn out to need three separate templates, one for each datasource type.
