JDBC Configuration on JBoss Application Servers

This section covers how to configure the Parasoft JDBC Driver for JBoss.

JBoss application servers (including servers using PostgreSQL) can be configured as follows:

1. Add the parasoft module.
   1. Under {jboss install}/module create the directories com/parasoft/main.

   2. In the main directory, add ParasoftJDBCDriver.jar and the following module.xml file:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
      	<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.parasoft">
      		<resources>
      			<resource-root path="ParasoftJDBCDriver.jar"/>
      		</resources>
      		<dependencies>
      			<module name="javax.api"/>
      			<module name="original.module"/>
      		</dependencies>
      	</module>

      Replace "original.module" with the name of your existing database module

      For example, if you are using Postgres, replace <module name="original.module"/> with <module name="org.postgres"/>

2. Configure the standalone.xml drivers by adding the following driver xml fragment:

   <driver name="parasoft" module="com.parasoft">
   	<driver-class>com.parasoft.xtest.jdbc.virt.driver.JDBCProxyDriver</driver-class>
   	<xa-datasource-class>parasoft-vendor-specific-xa-datasource</xa-datasource-class>
   </driver>

   More vendor-specific information:

   See JDBC Driver Implementation Classes for additional information on vendor-speicif driver implementation classes.

3. Update the standalone.xml data source.
   1. Set the data source’s driver name to "parasoft".
   2. Update the connection-url as needed. Be sure to replace host, port and database with the host, port and database of your server. For example:
      
      jdbc:parasoft:proxydriver:[original driver fully qualified class name]:@[original driver connection URL]
      
      If you’re using PostgreSQL, this would be:
      
      jdbc:parasoft:proxydriver:org.postgresql.Driver:@jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database
4. Configure the AUT’s startup parameters to use the Java system property parasoft.virtualize.driver.proxy.direct=true.
5. Configure the driver properties for the Parasoft JDBC Driver (e.g., virtualizeServerUrl, virtualizeGroupId). For details, see Driver/System Properties Required for All Environments.
