I'm new to JBoss and I started with some of the examples in "jboss at work". I was doing ok until I tried to connect to a Sybase database. I have their jconn4.jar driver file but I can't find the place where I should install it.
I tried:
<HOME>/server/default/standalone/lib
and
<HOME>/standalone/configuration/lib
and
<HOME>/standalone/lib
None of the above worked, am I looking in the correct place?
Should this be a part of my project's ear or war file instead?
At this point I haven't gone with the data-source route and I'm making direct jdbc calls.
I'm on a Windows XP box.
Thanks,
Carey

To install the datasource for MySql I have installed the jar in the folder "C:\jboss-as-7.1.0.Final\modules\com\mysql\main". Sure the directory is the same "C:\jboss-as-7.1.0.Final\modules\com"
I consulted this website: http://marceloagustini.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/agregar-mysql-datasource-jboss-7-x/ http://marceloagustini.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/agregar-mysql-datasource-jboss-7-x/

Thanks for the reply. At this point I'm not using data-sources so this doesn't seem to apply.

See the datasource https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16657#Installing_a_JDBC_driver_as_a_module wiki.
How do you want to use the driver?
Open a connection without DS is not the meaning of an AppServer. The server will pool the connections for you ;)

If your application is making direct JDBC connections, then it will need the driver class within the WAR's WEB-INF/lib subdirectory.

As has been noted by Wolf-Dieter Fink, this is not an application-server-like way of going about things;  deployable applications are more modular if they use datasources provided by the execution environment, JBoss.  This standardizes administration of datasource connection details.
