How do I configure IBM IMS connector in JBoss - jboss

Question

I have the IMS Connector RAR file. Placed it inside JBOSS_INSTALL/server/default/deploy directory. Created a ims-ds.xml file and also placed in the same location. It appears as if it is deploying with this message:
21:40:02,800 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/ims225Connector.rar/
But then it gives the following error:
--- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ---
ObjectName: jboss.web.deployment:war=MHAccountDetailsAXIS.war,id=258164183
State: FAILED
Reason: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NamingException: resource-ref: eis/IMSCZ has no valid JNDI binding. Check the jboss-web/resource-ref.)
ObjectName: jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name=IMS Connector for Java
State: NOTYETINSTALLED
Depends On Me:
jboss.jca:service=NoTxDS,name=eis/IMSCZ

Answer 1

Added jboss-web.xml that provides a mapping between JNDI and resource-ref name and finally got it going.

Answer 2

Was able to proceed further after correcting the IMS-ds.xml file. Next I got:
Unable to invoke setter method 'public void com.ibm.connector2.ims.ico.IMSManagedConnectionFactory.setMFSXMIRepositoryID(java.lang.String)' on object 'com.ibm.connector2.ims.ico.IMSManagedConnectionFactory#0'; - nested throwable: (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.ResourceSet)
Next I download the eclipse jar files:org.eclipse.emf.common_2.4.0.v200808251517.jar and
org.eclipse.emf.ecore_2.4.1.v200808251517.jar and place in the same location as the IMS RAR and get past that error.
I see the JNDI being established:
12:02:28,082 INFO [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=ConnectionFactoryBinding,name=eis/IMSCZ' to JNDI name 'java:eis/IMSCZ'
But then I get this error:
12:02:28,941 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.web.deployment:war=MHAccountDetailsAXIS.war,id=1972990498
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NamingException: resource-ref: eis/IMSCZ has no valid JNDI binding. Check the jboss-web/resource-ref.)
What else should I define to get this going?

I am able to configure IBM IMS TM Resource adapter on JBOSS. You can use one of the method in installation.
a. Using command prompt
b. Use web console
localhost:9990/console
c. Changing standalone.xml configuration file.
I used 3rd approach for other approach refer link
Configuring IMS TM resource adapter
Here are the steps to configure
Sptep 1: Download IMS TM RA using below link (You first need to register with IBM to be able to download adapter)
IMS TM Resource Adapter
Step 2: Extract the ico1322.zip (which you downloaded from step 1) in below folder.
jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\modules
Note: Some of the IMS adapter are already part of JBOSS installation, So please cross check whether the adapter is already available by default.
Step 3: Edit jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml file.
Edit below section and add following XML
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.0">
Replace the place holders ${XXXXXXXXX}
<resource-adapters>
<resource-adapter id="ims1322.rar">
<archive>ims1321.rar</archive>
<!-- <module slot="main" id="com.ibm.connector2"/>-->
<transaction-support>LocalTransaction</transaction-support>
<config-property name="threadContextPropagationRequired">
false
</config-property>
<config-property name="adapterID">
IMSTM
</config-property>
<config-property name="enableHASupport">
true
</config-property>
<connection-definitions>
<connection-definition class-name="com.ibm.connector2.ims.ico.IMSManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:jboss/ims/DAS_IMS_CONNECTION_FACTORY" enabled="true" use-java-context="false" pool-name="java:jboss/ims/DAS_IMS_CONNECTION_FACTORY">
<config-property name="CM0Dedicated">
FALSE
</config-property>
<config-property name="SSLEnabled">
FALSE
</config-property>
<config-property name="SSLEncryptionType">

</config-property>
<config-property name="DataStoreName">

</config-property>
<config-property name="Password">

</config-property>
<config-property name="UserName">

</config-property>
<config-property name="PortNumber">
${XXXXXXXXX}
</config-property>
<config-property name="TraceLevel">

</config-property>
<config-property name="HostName">
${XXXXXXXXX}
</config-property>
<pool>
<min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>
<max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
<prefill>false</prefill>
<use-strict-min>false</use-strict-min>
<flush-strategy>FailingConnectionOnly</flush-strategy>
</pool>
<security>
<application/>
</security>
<validation>
<background-validation>false</background-validation>
</validation>
</connection-definition>
</connection-definitions>
</resource-adapter>
</resource-adapters>
Step 4:
<resource-adapter id="ims1322.rar">
The above tag should have the same rar(If you unzip the ims1322.zip file, you will find ims1322.rar file) which we had downloaded in step 1
Step 5: Start the server in standalone mode.
jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone.bat
Step 6: Check console whether the adapter is installed in profile --> Resource adapter link
localhost:9990/console
