JPA persistence.xml I want it to connect to MariaD

Question

I have a java webapp,

persistence.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_2.xsd"
         version="2.2">

<persistence-unit name="my-persistence-unit">
    <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
    <properties>

        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver"/>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/qltb"/>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root"/>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="my_passwowrd"/>

        <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class"/>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MariaDB103Dialect"/>
        <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
        <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
        <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
    </properties>
</persistence-unit>

I create a simple Bottle @Entity class, which contains only an id and a String property.

When I run this webapp, I see in the log that it was processing my-persistence-unit but an exception was thrown:

org.hibernate.jpa.internal.util.LogHelper.logPersistenceUnitInformation HHH000204: Processing PersistenceUnitInfo [
name: my-persistence-unit
...]

... // Some lines are skipped


org.hibernate.tool.schema.spi.CommandAcceptanceException: Error executing DDL "
create table Bottle (
   id bigint not null,
    color varchar(255),
    primary key (id)
) engine=InnoDB" via JDBC Statement

.... // Some lines are skipped
Caused by: org.hsqldb.HsqlException: unexpected token: ENGINE : line: 6

Why JPA is connecting to hsqldb instead of MariaDB as declared in persistence.xml?

Additional information: I am using TomEE 8.0.0 M1

Answer 1

I added resources.xml into WEB-INF (and NOT META-INF/context.xml) with following content and now it works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<resources>
    <Resource id="myDataSource" type="javax.sql.DataSource">
        jdbcDriver=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
        jdbcUrl = jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/qltb
        userName = root
        password = password
        maxActive = 20
</Resource>

TomEE Resource configuration: http://tomee.apache.org/datasource-config.html

I still don't know where the relationship between persistence.xml and resources.xml is documented (in this case). I don't even need a <jta-data-source> tag in persistence.xml
