I\'ve been struggling for days with configuring Hibernate and run it on WildFly.
Here is my code:
META-INF/persistence.xml
A JTA datasource is managed by the jpa container (inside wildfly).
You must define the url, username, password in the standalone.xml.
Search for the datasources subsystem <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:4.0"> and add a datasource definition, for example:
<datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:/jdbc/myDS" pool-name="MyDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/blog</connection-url>
<driver>mysqldriver.jar</driver>
<security>
<user-name>username</user-name>
<password>password</password>
</security>
</datasource>
Next you have to create a module for your database driver. For the details check the documentation: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/DataSource+configuration
Then your persistence.xml will look like this:
<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd"
version="2.1">
<persistence-unit name="blog">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<jta-data-source>jdbc/myDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class" />
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
During server and component start watch for exceptions.
In file persistence.xml you must include class to persist
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>package.User<class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/blog?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="abc"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="abc"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
<property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.hibernate:5.0"/>
</properties>
You can include as many classes as you like
