Configuring a datasource with the Embeddable EJB3 container

You should refer to the Embeddable EJB3 container documentation for more information about configuring the container. You'll probably at least need to set up your own datasource. Embeddable EJB3 is implemented using the JBoss Microcontainer, so it's very easy to add new services to the minimal set of services provided by default. For example, I can add a new datasource by putting this jboss-beans.xml file in my classpath:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deployment xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:bean-deployer bean-deployer_1_0.xsd"
            xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer">

   <bean name="bookingDatasourceBootstrap"
        class="org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalTxDataSource">
      <property name="driverClass">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
      <property name="connectionURL">jdbc:hsqldb:.</property>
      <property name="userName">sa</property>
      <property name="jndiName">java:/bookingDatasource</property>
      <property name="minSize">0</property>
      <property name="maxSize">10</property>
      <property name="blockingTimeout">1000</property>
      <property name="idleTimeout">100000</property>
      <property name="transactionManager">
        <inject bean="TransactionManager"/>
      </property>
      <property name="cachedConnectionManager">
        <inject bean="CachedConnectionManager"/>
      </property>
      <property name="initialContextProperties">
        <inject bean="InitialContextProperties"/>
      </property>
   </bean>

   <bean name="bookingDatasource" class="java.lang.Object">
      <constructor factoryMethod="getDatasource">
         <factory bean="bookingDatasourceBootstrap"/>
      </constructor>
   </bean>

</deployment>
