Hi,

We are seeing these warning messages in our logs. Looks like JBoss is trying to create connections for the XA Pool and is running into this AnonymousConnection class. Application is working fine otherwise. User sessions are created and saved with no issues. Has this to do with how Jackrabbit security domain is configured?

Below is the warning log and configuration. Appreciate you help.

Response on JackRabbit forum

this is a JBoss issue, not Jackrabbit.

You got the security domain wrong. Either you provide the credentials (user/PW) as an xa property directly in the datasource or you choose the proper login module in the security domain.

Hope these pointers help you further. I think it would be better to ask this question in a JBoss related forum.

Thanks,

Sanjeev
