spring example with wrong datasource configuration - spring

Question

I try to run the example project of jboss-springmvc-webapp, but I fail to configure the data source.
the error is:

Answer 1

If you use the jboss-springmvc-webapp architype then it should come configured to use H2 as a datasource. I would go back to that configuration first to confirm that it works.
Then when you know everything else is working you can set up a MySQL datasource. There are 2 things you need to know. You can only point to one datasource at a time, so you must remove the other ones from the file above. It can only have the MySQL info (if that is the datasource you are using). Second, you will need to make sure you have the JDBC driver for the database that you are going to use.
Every version of JBoss has good docs on setting this up. What version of JBoss are you using, I'll post the doc page?
