Adding Oracle Datasource to JBoss EAP server

To add a Oracle Datasource to the JBOSS server, follow the steps

1. In the standalone.xml or in standalone-full.xml

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.2">
		<datasources>
			<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" pool-name="ExampleDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
				<connection-url>jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/jbpm-db-new;MVCC=TRUE;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE</connection-url>
				<driver>h2</driver>
				<security>
					<user-name>sa</user-name>
					<password>sa</password>
				</security>
			</datasource>
			<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/JbpmDS" pool-name="JbpmDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
				<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE</connection-url>
				<driver>oracle</driver>
				<security>
					<user-name>username</user-name>
					<password>password</password>
				</security>
			</datasource>
			<drivers>
				<driver name="h2" module="com.h2database.h2">
					<xa-datasource-class>org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource</xa-datasource-class>
				</driver>
				<driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.jdbc">
					<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
					<xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
				</driver>
			</drivers>
		</datasources>
</subsystem>

2. In $JBOSS_HOME/modules/com/oracle/jdbc/main I have copied the ojdbc6.jar and created the module.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.oracle.jdbc">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="ojdbc6.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="javax.api"/>
    <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>

3. Now you could use the JNDI “java:jboss/datasources/JbpmDS” in your application
