JPA connects to a different database instead of the one specified in my persistence.xml - jpa

Question

Here's my persistence xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="GoodreadsJpa">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>entity.Book</class>
<class>entity.Review</class>
<class>entity.UserActionLog</class>
<class>entity.User</class>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/goodreads_clone?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC;" />
<property name="eclipselink.jdbc" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/goodreads_clone?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC;"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
As you can see I have provided jdbc url for connecting to the database. However, when I run my application I get the following information.
14:31:57,377 INFO [org.eclipse.persistence.connection] (default task-2) Connected: jdbc:h2:mem:test
User: ROOT
Database: H2 Version: 1.3.173 (2013-07-28)
Driver: H2 JDBC Driver Version: 1.3.173 (2013-07-28)
which states that I connected to jdbc:h2:mem:test and consequently I cannot perform the desired actions.
It makes me think I am connected to a wrong database?Am I missing something? How can I actually connect to the db that I want?
I am using Wildfly 10 and EclipseLink. Not using Maven.

Answer 1

Assuming you're using container-managed em, you should define your data source in Wildfly configuration (standalone.xml). You should then refer to your datasource using the persistence-unit.jta-data-source (or persistence-unit.non-jta-data-source) tag in your persistence unit definition.
If you need both the MySQL and H2 data sources, you can create multiple persistence units and differentiate between them using #PersistenceContext(name = "...")

1.You need to add mysql driver to Jboss like here : Can't add mysql driver to jboss
or here
https://synaptiklabs.com/posts/adding-the-mysql-jdbc-driver-into-wildfly/
You need add mysql datasource in standalone.xml configuration file like here :
https://zorq.net/b/2011/07/12/adding-a-mysql-datasource-to-jboss-as-7/
<datasource jndi-name="java:/mydb" pool-name="my_pool" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb</connection-url>
<driver>mysql</driver>
<security>
<user-name>root</user-name>
<password>root</password>
</security>
<statement>
<prepared-statement-cache-size>100</prepared-statement-cache-size>
<share-prepared-statements />
</statement>
</datasource>
