Creating a new Derby Datasource using the Geronimo Datasource wizard does not enlist Derby jars
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-3904
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3904
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: databases
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Ag 2.1, Windows Xp
            Reporter: Ashish Jain


I am creating a Embedded derby XA datasource using Geronimo Database Pool Wizard. While selecting the Driver Jar I could only find org.apache.geronimo.configs/system-database/2.1/car listed. However I continue creating the datasource and was able to deploy the datasource successfully. In plan.xml which is at the following location <GERONIMO_HOME>/repository\org\apache\geronimo\configs\system-database\2.1\system-database-2.1.car\META-INF.
I found 
<dep:dependency>
        <dep:groupId>org.tranql</dep:groupId>
        <dep:artifactId>tranql-connector-derby-embed-xa</dep:artifactId>
        <dep:version>1.3</dep:version>
        <dep:type>rar</dep:type>
      </dep:dependency>
which suggests that the jar is already included into system-database as a dependency. 
1) Is this the reason for only listing system-database in the available jars.
2) Why is that we are using system-database for datasource creation.

AFAICT this is a request for information rather than a problem.

JDBC has truly bizarre classloading requirements that are pretty inconsistent with use in an enterprise environment and one consequence of these rules is that the derby classes must be loaded in only one classloader or they completely stop working.  Since we've loaded them in system-database, any other derby pool has to get the derby classes from the system-database classloader.  You do this by using system-database as a parent, which is why it is the only choice when constructing a derby pool.

On the other hand, although the tranql adapter classes are already present in system-database, an adapter is a javaee application and so deploying it involves copying the application contents into the deployed module.  In this case the result is that although the tranql connector classes are already in the parent system-database classloader we copy them into the pool we're constructing anyway.  This takes up more disk space but causes no other harm AFAIK.

If there is an actual problem please reopen and explain more clearly.
