Adding a Datasource to JBoss EAP

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform provides extensive support for deploying and managing Java-based applications. These applications often need supporting backends, such as databases. In this hands-on lab, we use a provided MySQL module to create a MySQL datasource for our applications to use.

Install and Configure MariaDB
1. Install MariaDB:
```
sudo yum install mariadb-server
```
1. Ensure the MariaDB service has been started and set MariaDB to start at boot:
```
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
```
1. Secure the installation; there is no default password for root. Set a password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database. Reload the privilege tables, following the prompt.
```
sudo mysql_secure_installation
```
2. Access the MySQL CLI as the root user, using the password you just provided:
```
mysql -u root -p
```
3. Create a new database, users; create the user jboss-eap and grant that user access to the database:
```
create database users;
grant all on users.* to 'jboss-eap' identified by 'pinehead';
```
4. Log out of MySQL:
```
exit
```

Challenge

Add a Datasource

Access the JBoss EAP CLI:

cd /opt/jboss-eap
sudo ./bin/jboss-cli.sh

Connect to the server:
```
connect
```

/subsystem=datasources/jdbc-driver=mysql:add(driver-name=mysql,driver-module-name=com.mysql)

Create the datasource:

data-source add --name=MySQLDS --jndi-name=java:/MySqlDS 
--driver-name=mysql --connection-url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/users 
--user-name=jboss-eap --password=pinehead

Challenge

Test the Connection

We can test the connection from the CLI with 1/subsystem=datasources/data-source=MySQLDS:test-connection-in-pool.
