Simple test to check if the connection to a database is working.
Steps:
- Starting with a new Openshift Jboss app, using the Openshift web console, add a DB. For example, PostgreSQL 9.2.
(you can also use command-line. For example: rhc-ctl-app -a <application-name> -l <email-id-we-used-to-register> -e add-mysql-5.1 )
It will not use any extra gears.
- You can check the datasources, already declared for JBoss, in: .openshift/config/standalone.xml (hidden folder).
In this example, we will use the datasource with name "PostgreSQLDS". Openshift has internally enabled it in the previous steps.
- You can also ssh to your app, and check the environment variables (user, pw, datasource url) already declared: env | grep POSTGRESQL
- Place this file in <path-to-your-openshift-app>/src/main/webapp
- In this example, the datasource is "PostgreSQLDS". Change it if yours is different.
- Add, commit and push to Git. Access with a browser to <url-of-your-app>/testDatabaseConnection.jsp, and it's done.
Of course, connecting to DB from a jsp is a bad practice :) This is only an easy example.
