HADR and JBoss

[joshdevins]

Hi all,

I am currently setting up our Java apps running in JBoss to use DB2
HADR capabilities with automatic reroute. My understanding is that I
need to use the DB2DataSource for this to work. The problem is that
the JBoss connection pooling uses it's own DataSource but the
DB2Driver. Does anybody know if this will still work, or if there is a
way to do automatic reroute without the DB2DataSource. Or better yet,
how to make this all work with JBoss connection pooling!

Many thanks,

Josh

I don't know all that much about the client side, but it is possible
to configure rerouting (alternate server) at the DB2 server, which
will apply to all client connections. There is one limitation vs. the
client side rerouting, which is that the server side reroute needs a
first successful connection before rerouting is set up. The client
reroute can occur if even the first connection attempt is not
successful and needs rerouting.
