Adding Resources Examples

The add-resources goal allows you to add resources such as datsources etc to a running WildFly instance.

Adding datasources

This can be combined with the add-resource goal to automatically deploy the datasource drivers.

The example below shows how to add a datasource that uses the default h2 database:

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>4.2.2.Final</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>add-datasource</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>add-resource</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <address>subsystem=datasources,data-source=java:jboss/myDs</address>
                            <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <properties>
                                        <jndi-name>java:jboss/myDs</jndi-name>
                                        <enabled>true</enabled>
                                        <connection-url>jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1</connection-url>
                                        <driver-class>org.h2.Driver</driver-class>
                                        <driver-name>h2</driver-name>
                                        <user-name>sa</user-name>
                                        <password>sa</password>
                                    </properties>
                                </resource>
                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
...
</project>

The example below shows how to configure a postgresql XA data source, including deploying the driver. The postgresql driver module must be listed in the <dependencies> section of the pom.

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        ...
        <plugins>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>4.2.2.Final</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>deploy-postgresql</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>deploy-artifact</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
                            <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>

                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                    <execution>
                        <id>add-datasource</id>
                        <phase>install</phase>
                        <goals>

                            <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <address>xa-data-source=java:jboss/datasources/postgresDS</address>
                                    <properties>

                                        <driver-name>postgresql.jar</driver-name>
                                    </properties>
                                    <resources>
                                        <resource>
                                            <address>
                                                xa-datasource-properties=DatabaseName
                                            </address>
                                            <properties>

                                        <resource>
                                            <address>
                                                xa-datasource-properties=ServerName
                                            </address>
                                            <properties>
                                                <value>localhost</value>
                                            </properties>
                                        </resource>
                                        <resource>
                                            <address>
                                                xa-datasource-properties=User
                                            </address>
                                            <properties>
                                                <value>dbuser</value>
                                            </properties>
                                        </resource>
                                        <resource>
                                            <address>
                                                xa-datasource-properties=Password
                                            </address>
                                            <properties>
                                                <value>supersecret</value>
                                            </properties>
                                        </resource>
                                    </resources>
                                </resource>
                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            ...
        </plugins>
        ...
    </build>
...
</project>

The xml tags in the <properties> element correspond directly to the DMR nodes in the corresponding management operation. If you need to use DMR nodes of a non-primitive type then you must prefix the value with the !! escape sequence, which will cause the value to be interpreted as a string representation of a DMR node. For example in the <xa-data-source-properties> element about <xa-datasource-properties> is a DMR property list.

Adding other resources

It is also possible to deploy resources other than datasources, the example below shows how to deploy a JMS queue:

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        ...
        <plugins>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>4.2.2.Final</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>add-jms-queue</id>
                        <phase>install</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>add-resource</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <address>subsystem=messaging,hornetq-server=default,jms-queue=myJmsQueue</address>
                                    <properties>
                                        <durable>true</durable>
                                        <entries>!!["java:jboss/myJmsQueue", "java:jboss/myJmsQueueAlias"]</entries>
                                    </properties>
                                </resource>
                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            ...
        </plugins>
        ...
    </build>
...
</project>

Adding resources in domain mode

Adding resources in domain mode works the same as the examples above, except you need to add the <profiles> property as well as specify at least one profile.

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        ...
        <plugins>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>4.2.2.Final</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>add-datasource</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>add-resource</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <profiles>
                                <profile>default</profile>
                            </profiles>
                            <address>subsystem=datasources,data-source=java:jboss/myDs</address>
                             <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <properties>
                                        <jndi-name>java:jboss/myDs</jndi-name>
                                        <enabled>true</enabled>
                                        <connection-url>jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1</connection-url>
                                        <driver-class>org.h2.Driver</driver-class>
                                        <driver-name>h2</driver-name>
                                        <user-name>sa</user-name>
                                        <password>sa</password>
                                    </properties>
                                </resource>
                             </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            ...
        </plugins>
        ...
    </build>
