unable to get DB2 driver working on JBoss4

[Verny Quartara]

Hi everybody,
after some days googleing and trying, I can't get DB2 driver working on JBoss 4.0.5.

I have a simple ear/ejb/web application, with a single entity 2.1 bean in the ejb module.

I defined correctly the datasource configuration through the various configuration files (jboss.xml jaws.xml etc) and tested using a servlet in the web module. the servlet gets a connection from the datasource and executes a query with success.

The problem is in deploying the ejb module: JBoss AS tries to use database metadata, that is (I suppose) not supported by IBM DB2 driver. (look at http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/javadoc/4.0.2/org/jboss/ejb/plugins/cmp/jdbc/SQLUtil.java.html)

Does anybody knows how to deploy entity 2.1 ejbs on JBoss? Thank you

This is the stacktrace:

Entity beans and JBoss AS 4.0.5 are ancient technologies. Are you trying to fix a problem in an existing system, or are you trying to learn how do something new? I ask because maybe we an help you address your main purpose with more recent technology.

Hi Peter, I'm in charge of studying a porting of a j2ee application from websphere 5.1 to JBoss. I'm first trying to get the app working on the "corresponding" (in terms of jdk version support) version of JBoss (4.0.5). I know that these are ancient technologies, but a total rewriting of the application is not desirable at the moment, so my personal goal is to migrate to JBoss 7.1, that is the latest version with ejb 2.x support, after having demonstrated to the customer the correct working of the app on JBoss. As an engineer, I must present the best solution given the available resources.

Said that, I got the app working by executing a "bind" command on the DB2 server machine, now I'm going on mapping the entities relationships.

Thank you for the interest.

Regards
