Example 2: Using JNDI data source connections of JBoss server

Using JBoss as an example, in this Example, DB2 is used, and JBoss is installed to D:\jboss-4.0.1, take the following steps:

Copy the DB2 driver to D:\jboss-4.0.1\server\default\lib.

Create a db2-ds.xml file in D:\jboss-4.0.1\server\default\deploy, and add the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
    <local-tx-datasource>
        <jndi-name>DB2DataSource</jndi-name>
        <connection-url>jdbc:db2://dbs-b/sample</connection-url>
        <driver-class>com.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver</driver-class>
        <user-name>db2admin</user-name>
        <password>db2admin</password>
        <min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>
        <metadata>
            <type-mapping>DB2</type-mapping>
        </metadata>
    </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

Modify datasource.xml in <install_root>\bin. Make sure that the following are included:

<datasource-mapping>
    <datasource>
        <catalog-connection-name>ConnectionName</catalog-connection-name>
        <connection-type>JNDI</connection-type>
        <jndi-datasource>java:/DB2DataSource</jndi-datasource>
    </datasource>
</datasource-mapping>

Build the JReport Server WAR file using the makewar.bat utility in the <install_root>\bin directory.
Deploy JReport Server to JBoss.
Run the report that uses this connection.
