Wildfly 10 can't connect datasource: invalid connection

Question

Problem

I'm trying test my connection and it keeps giving me the same error while at first sight I can't see what I did wrong. Maybe I'm overlooking something...

Error

    nexpected HTTP response: 500

    Request
    {
       "address" => [
            ("subsystem" => "datasources"),
            ("data-source" => "ProjectenDS")
        ],
        "operation" => "test-connection-in-pool"
    }

    Response

Answer 1

If your datasource is not XA, open standalone.xml and remove the datasource-class property from your datasource definition. Wildfly adds it even if you don't specify it whe you create the datasource.

You may have to restart the server to see it working.

Answer 2

The exception you have is generic.

Check on {WILDFLY_HOME}/standalone/log/server.log

You can use tail -f server.log while you test on the web console.

This will give you the right error to work on.

Answer 3

I solved this error by reducing pool size and set prefill attribute to false on datasource settings.

<pool>
   <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
   <max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
   <prefill>false</prefill>
   <use-strict-min>false</use-strict-min>
   <flush-strategy>IdleConnections</flush-strategy>
</pool>
