At my work I need to convert a Web Java-J2EE Struts application from Bea 9.2 to JBoss 4.2.  I would appreciate if you could help me to find answers/ information regarding the following: 1. Do you know, please, the best/ safest path where I can free download JBoss 4.2?

2.

Is Java Struts 1.2.9 compatible with JBoss 4.2?

3.

Does JBoss 4.2 allow data sources and connection pools defined at the console level in a similar way that Bea WebLogic does?

4.

Which Oracle driver does JBoss 4.2 accept in order to connect to an Oracle 9i/ 10g database?

Where could I download the driver? At the Bea console level I use Oracle's Driver (Thin) Versions 9.0.1, 9.2.0, 10 so I would like to find, please, the JBoss corresponding Oracle driver!

5.

I would like to know the JBoss corresponding Java framework for:

import weblogic.logging.NonCatalogLogger;

and weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory.

6.

Does JBoss accept the below Java framework/ statements?

import javax.naming.Context; import javax.naming.InitialContext;

private static String thinDriver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";

Context ctx =

new InitialContext(); ctx = javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx lookup("jdbc/CoGDataSource");

Connection dbConn;

dbConn.commit(); dbConn.rollback();

Any information, links or recommended books regarding the above issues would be highly appreciated!

 

Thank you very much,
