I've been using the datasource-alias feature for more than 2 months now
without any problem. could it be that you still have a reference to
data-sources.xml in your server.xml file (i.e. according to the old dtds)?
I know that we had strange effects migrating from the old dtds t othe new
ones because the old ones still worked but when mixing this stufff we got
strange side effects. Where do you declare the global data-sources.xml? it
should be in global-application.xml and NOT in server.xml. it looks like
the application local data-sources.xml is being ignored completely. other
than that I don't know what could be wrong with your setup. I've use this
feature in several different applications without any problem and it makes
life so much easier, because we deploy a shop application for a new
customer just by modifying the data-source alias in the application-local
data-sources.xml file.
here's my setup again and maybe you could post the same snippets from your
configs so we can work this out:
server.xml:
global-application name="default" path="./global-application.xml" /
global-application.xml:
data-sources path="./data-sources.xml" /
data-sources.xml:
data-source
name="Procurement Ref Datasource"
class="com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource"
location="jdbc/ProcurementRefDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/ProcurementRefXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/ProcurementRefEJBDS"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@XXX:1521:S701A"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
schema="database-schemas/oracle.xml"
username="XXX"
password="XXX"
inactivity-timeout="30"
/
orion-application.xml (located in the application's deployment directory):
data-sources path="data-sources.xml" /
(in the application-local) data-sources.xml:
data-source class="com.evermind.sql.AliasDataSource"
location="jdbc/ShopEJBDS"
source-location="jdbc/ProcurementRefEJBDS" /
and finally in orion-ejb-jar.xml:
entity-deployment name="Company" location="Company"
wrapper="CompanyHome_EntityHomeWrapper276" table="COMPANY"
data-source="jdbc/ShopEJBDS"
this works like a charm for 15 deployments fo the same application. now,
what is different in your setup?
regards,
robert
solution is to have a data-sources.xml for each datasource and rotate them by
hand before I launch Orion. I know this is not correct but its the only way I
have found to do this ... could someone please help.

Hi All,
I need to install the same application several times on orion - with a
different datasource for each instance. To do this I have created a
Data-Sources.XML in the application deplyment dir [as per email on the
list from Robert Krueger 6 Nov] which uses the
"com.evermind.sql.AliasDataSource" to point my app JNDI reference [which
is common to all 3 apps] to a specific datasource in the
\orion\config\data-sources.xml
Everything looks good - I get the app deployed 3 times - I get 3 Web
deployments - OrionConsole tells me the data-sources are all deployed in
the correct JNDI namespace.
BUT ...
Try and access any app and Orion wants to look up the Default datasource
- ie, the first one in the \Orion\Config\Data-Sources.XML.
Does anyone have any experience with deploying the same app several
times, needing different WAR and EJB deploys and different datasource
deploys?
Pls Help!

This is what I have done so far:
1) installed 3 EARs in the \Orion\Applications\ dir - App1.EAR,
App2.EAR, App3.EAR
2) registered the 3 EARS with \Orion\Config\Server.XML
application name="app1" path="../applications/app1.ear"
auto-start="true" /
application name="app2" path="../applications/app2.ear"
auto-start="true" /application name="app3"
path="../applications/app3.ear" auto-start="true" /
3) registered the 3 Apps with the \Orion\Config\Default-Web-Site.XML
web-app application="app1" name="app-web" root="/app1" /
web-app application="app2" name="app-web" root="/app2" /
web-app application="app3" name="app-web" root="/app3" /
4) created 3 new datasources in \Orion\Config\Data-Sources.XML
data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="com_bms1 (HSQL)"
location="jdbc/com_bms1_DS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/com_bms1_XADS"
