Hello David,

Thanks for helping out. Following yout e-mail:

1) I've fixed the problem by using "SystemDatasource" (not SystemDatabse) as the name.

2) I don't really care whether Geronimo uses JNDI or not internally. I need to register the JPA persistence context in my web application's JNDI context, as I am using Spring which expects to be able to look it up via JNDI (using <jee:jndi-lookup .../> if you're familiar with Spring). So I need the reference in web.xml for my own purposes. Anyway, it works now so this has been resolved.

3) I don't really intend to use Derby; I was just taking things step-by-step. Having said that, how do I define my own datasource in Geronimo? For example, in JBoss you use a "somename-ds.xml" file to register a datasource.

Geronimo doesn't use jndi for the datasources in persistence.xml. You don't need to configure resource-refs for the datasources. You do need to make sure they are in ancestor plugins to the app and that you use the name from the datasource configuration. In this case I think that would be
<jta-data-source>SystemDatabase</jta-data-source>

In my experience, at least with derby, you need both jta and non-jta datasource. I guess if you aren't using jta transactions at all you might be able to use just a non-jta-data-source, but I haven't tried this.

thanks

Hello,

My scenario is this:

I have a library with entities (as in @Entity objects) containing my domain model. I want to declare a container-managed persistence unit in a standalone WAR (not EAR), using that library (the persistence.xml must NOT be in the library, but the WAR). So, I proceed as follows (this is valid as far as I know, base on J2EE5 specs):

1) I have declared a data source in geronimo-web.xml and web.xml (see below for file contents). 2) I put my library (as a jar) in my WAR's WEB-INF/lib and added a WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml in the WAR (see below for file contents).

Deployment after performing step (1) worked and I could see the data source registered in the console.

Deployment after performing step (2) fails; from what I understand from the error (see below), geronimo claims the data-source from step (1) does not exist. I assume that geronimo tries to create the persistence context prior to registering the data source? (i.e. it processes persistence.xml prior to apply the configuration from web.xml and geronimo-web.xml).

What do I need to configure this properly. My deployment descriptors and the error trace follow:
