IAS 4.1 and Informix XADatasource

posted to: comp.databases.informix,inprise.public.appserver Hi Has anyone out there deployed an EJB to Inprise's Application Server which connects to an Informix databse using a JDBC 2.0 Datasource? From what I can gather from the Informix JDBC Driver Programming Manual you should specify connection attributes as Datasource properties rather than using a URL as for JDBC1.*. In the IAS Programmers manual it states that you use the DSDeploy utility to deploy JDBC 2.0 datasources and the XML that is input to this utility allows you to specify properties using a <properties> tag. I assume that the properties you can specify here are those laid out in the Sun JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API specification. The Informix documentation maps Informix connection attributes such as PORTNO, DATABASE, INFORMIXSERVER etc quite nicely to these standard Sun properties ( portNumber, databaseName, serverName ) however it doesnt provide a mapping for the host machine connection attribute (IFXHOST). In fact it seems to Imply that the only way to set it is by using a specific setter method. Does anyone know hoe to specify the IFXHOST property in a datasources.xml file so that DSDeploy can understand it? Or is this information specified somewhere else? Has anyone else tried to do this?
