Datasource created with jta=false and use-ccm=false when using the admin console in EAP 6

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6
  • Releases prior to 6.4.0

Issue

• A datasource created by the EAP web based admin console, has jta and use-ccm automatically set to false

 <datasource jta="false" ... use-ccm="false" ...>

• These values are inconsistent with the expected defaults as documented in docs/schema/jboss-as-datasources_1_*.xsd

Resolution

One of the following may be used to resolve the issue

• Disable the datasource, set both properties to true, restart the server¹ and re-enable the datasource
• Create datasources using the CLI console
• Stop the server, remove the two properties from the datasource entry in standalone*.xml or domain.xml (allowing them to retain their default value of true) then restart the server

This issue is resolved in EAP 6.4.0 and later as part of This content is not included.BZ-1144083

• This is a known issue Content from issues.jboss.org is not included.HAL-397 that impacts versions of EAP prior to 6.4
