11.6.2. Transactional Datasource Configuration

Procedure 11.1. Configure the Datasource to use Java Transaction API

1. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

   Depending on whether you run JBoss EAP 6 in a managed domain or standalone server, your configuration file will be in a different location.

   • Managed domain

     The default configuration file for a managed domain is in EAP_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and EAP_HOME\domain\configuration\domain.xml for Microsoft Windows Server.

   • Standalone server

     The default configuration file for a standalone server is in EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and EAP_HOME\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml for Microsoft Windows Server.

2. Locate the <datasource> tag that corresponds to your datasource.

   The datasource will have the jndi-name attribute set to the one you specified when you created it. For example, the ExampleDS datasource looks like this:

   <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" pool-name="H2DS" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Set the jta attribute to true.

   Add the following to the contents of your <datasource> tag, as they appear in the previous step: jta="true"

4. Save the configuration file.

   Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.

5. Start JBoss EAP 6.

   Relaunch the JBoss EAP 6 server.
