Hi:

I am working on a project which has it's own connection pooling and transation management.

In non-managed environment, we can configure connection.provider_class attribute in hibernate's config to use the custom connection provider.

However, we are deploying the application on JBoss. I searched in jboss/hibernate documentation/examples but could not find this attribute for the hibernate mbean. The only way I can see is to create a datasource and then use that in the mbean. Please point me to any related documentation/samples/guides on what are the necessary steps.

Thanks.

Normal approach would be to use the JBoss Datasource through JNDI. Should be documents/ideas on the wiki. I know there is a fiar amount of docs on the JBoss site.
