Hi!
Is it possible to deny deployment of ear by itself?

Thanks a lot.

This is a strange question. What are you trying to do?

Yes, it looks strange. And I feel nobody does it.

It is used non-portable implementation of EJB. EJB component is coupled
to Oracle VPD technology.
The idea is to verify datasource configuration on deployment,
and if database version is wrong then deny deployment.
I know that binging to datasource can be changed after deployment,
but VPD requires redeployment in this case.

How do you propose to check on deployment that the right DB is to be used? Deployment is, well, deployment.

Perhaps one solution, which is vendor-dependent, is to deploy without a connection pool but dynamically create and configure it later. The DataSource will also be dynamically created and associated with the connection pool. WebLogic Server allows you to do this via the JMX API.

Andrew,
You could write a deployment script to check whether the DataSource is correct. For example, you would use wsadmin/jacl for a WebSphere sever. If it isn't correct, you would abort/exit the script and not actually deploy the ear.

This won't work as the problem is not the DataSource - it's the DB which is configured in the connection pool. And in any case, even this won't tell the whole story as the name of the DB in the connection pool is quite likely to be an alias to the real DB name.

The proper solution is for the sys admin to configure the connection pool correctly.

Good point. It's probably possible to script something by connecting through the database, but that sounds like more trouble than doing it by hand.

I agree.
