wildfly registering mysql as a datasource

Question

I have been trying to configure mysql as a datasource in wildfly. I am not sure what i am missing out, i get an error on startup .

I have the mysql-connector-java-5

Answer 1

To resolve the mysql datasource configuration issue on Wildfly i used the admin console to add the datasource and test it.

1. If you login to the web console and find the datasource you tried configuring disable that a remove it . The standalone.xml and the module.xml get reset to the orginal.

   Steps for accessing web console

2. Configure a new datasource :

   name :mysql
   JNDI :java:jboss/datasources/proj

3. Click next and enter the url (i used the below) and click enable and then click test
   url : jdbc:mysql://localhost/proj

4. The test should show success

5. The changes to the standalone.xml and the module.xml are automatically made .

6. If you restart the server now it should start without any errors and you should be able to access the database from your web project
