How to add PostgreSQL datasource to WildFly 9.0?

Question

I\'ve tried tutorial at mastertheboss.com:

1. ./jboss-cli.sh
2. module add --name=org.postgres --resources=/tmp/postgresql-9.3-1101.jdbc4

Answer 1

Put your Postgres JDBC driver into deployment folder (just deploy). Now use CLI console and enter this command:

data-source add --name=PostgresqlDS --jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/PostgresqlDS --driver-name=postgresql-9.4-1201.jdbc41.jar --connection-url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test --user-name=USER --password=PASSWORD

Check if your driver is jdbc4.

I don't know why but adding datasources by web console doesn't work. By CLI works.

The right solution for extending JDBC drivers is add driver as module to server. In WildFly 9 you can do it using cli console. You can't do this by copy JDBC jar file (with xml) to "module" folder like in WildFly 8.

Execute commands:

module add --name=org.postgres --resources=postgresql-9.4-1201.jdbc41.jar --dependencies=javax.api,javax.transaction.api    

/subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=postgres:add(driver-name="postgres",driver-module-name="org.postgres",driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver)

To list instaled drivers enter:

/subsystem=datasources:installed-drivers-list

With driver creating datasources will be easy.

Please use 9.0 Final version. In CR are bugs.
