You can not post xml here...

tomcat/conf/context.xml:
[Context]
..
[Resource name="jdbc/chess" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="name"
password="pwd"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://ip:3306/db"
maxActive="5"
maxIdle="2"
validationQuery="Select 1" /]
..
[/Context]

stax-application.xml:
[stax-application]
..
[resource name="jdbc/chess" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"]
[param name="username" value="schach" /]
[param name="password" value="pwd" /]
[param name="url" value="jdbc:stax://db" /]
[/resource]
..
[/stax-application]

That path is described in the application.xml file as per the standard j2ee spec. If you don't want to change that path, just update the path in the application.xml file.

In my application package stax-deploy.zip is a deploy folder. In standard ear files there is no folder like this.

Alexey, the application package that is deployed to Stax is a standard EAR file with an additional stax-application.xml file which sets up any stax-specific bindings (such as mapping datasources to stax databases). This stax-application.xml is the equivalent of the jboss-*.xml or sun-*.xml files you'd find from other appserver environments.

If you want to integrate stax deployment into your existing application, you'll need to package your app as an EAR file, and then you can use the Stax deploy ANT task to deploy your EAR file.

Please take a look at this wiki article for information about integrating Stax into an ANT-based build environment as it should provide you with insight into how to integrate Stax into your project.

First you should configure your app to run in a local tomcat-6 with a tomcat datasource. The datasource configuration from tomcat you have to add to stax-application.xml.

tomcat/conf/context.xml:

...

username="name"
password="pwd"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://ip:3306/db-name"
maxActive="5"
maxIdle="2"
validationQuery="Select 1" />
..


stax-application.xml:

..


..


Next step:
Create a stax-deploy.zip. content:

META-INF
+-application.xml
+- stax-application.xml
deploy
+-webapp.war (<- your application configured for tomcat-6)

Now you can deploy stax-deploy.zip with the stax-build.xml from stax sdk.

Daniel, hi! Looks very interesting. I'm currently looking for migrating my existed APP (JSF + Spring + Hibernate) into stax. Since this application is already exists - Stax templates is not an option for me (as well as stax templates is not supported JSF). So, I'm looking for any info, about what should be changed in existed WAR-configuration (data-source, anything else?) to make it possible to deploy and run it in Stax.

If you will able to share info it will be really helpful!

Thanks for letting us know Seam works on Stax. I'm glad to see that JBoss to the time to make sure the the framework could be packaged up in a way that lets it run on any standard J2EE Web container.
