Hello, I have problem to configure postgers datasource for WebSphere Application Server 6 (WAS6) from admin console. 1.) I have configured new JDBC Provider for PostgreSQL as following: Name: Postgres JDBC Provider Class path: ${UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/postgresql.jar Implementation class name: org.postgresql.jdbc2.optional.BaseDataSource 2.) Then I created new 'Data sources (Version 4)' as following: Name: DS4Test JNDI name: jndi/DS4Test Database name: myDB Default user ID: myUser Default password: myPasswd After saving all changes I have try to test connection to the database by clicking on button 'Test connection', but following exception occured: Test connection failed for data source DS4Test on server server1 at node athlonxpNode01 with the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.InstantiationException When I have try to change 'Implementation class name' property in the 'JDBC Provider' definition page to: a) org.postgresql.jdbc2.optional.SimpleDataSource b) org.postgresql.jdbc2.optional.PoolingDataSource c) org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3SimpleDataSource There was following error occured (the same for each one): Test connection failed for data source DS4Test on server server1 at node athlonxpNode01 with the following exception: java.lang.Exception: DSRA8101E: DataSource class cannot be used as one-phase: ClassCastException: org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3SimpleDataSource, error code: NOT_A_1_PHASE_DS. If anybody know, how to configure WAS6 for PostgreSQL 8 database, please let mi know.
