How to setup p6spy driver in Arquillian tests on jBoss 7.x?

Question

Apart from setting up the module in

JBOSS_HOME/modules/com/p6spy/main

adding p6spy.jar and module.xml saying:

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.p6spy">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="p6spy.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="javax.api"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>

editing standalone-full.xml and adding an entry under datasources/drivers:

<driver name="p6spy" module="com.p6spy">
  <xa-datasource-class>com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6SpyDriver</xa-datasource-class>
</driver>

adding module dependency in jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

<module name="com.p6spy"/>

replacing the original driver in data source definition with p6spy I'm still getting this error:

Caused by: java.lang.Exception:
  {"JBAS014771: Services with missing/unavailable dependencies" => 
    ["jboss.data-source.jboss/datasources/MyDsjboss.jdbc-driver.p6spyMissing
      [jboss.data-source.jboss/datasources/MyDsjboss.jdbc-driver.p6spy]"
    ]}

Answer 1

This is a rather old question, but I answer for the sake of future readers.

You don't need p6spy, JBoss AS 7 provides spying capabilities out of the box. Two steps are required.

• Put the following in logging section of your standalone.xml:

  <logger category="jboss.jdbc.spy">
      <level name="DEBUG"/>
  </logger>
  

• Add spy=”true” attribute in your DataSource configuration as follows:

  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/testDS"
      pool-name="test" enabled="true"
      use-java-context="true" spy="true">
      <connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres</connection-url>
      <driver>postgresql</driver>
      <security>
          <user-name>postgres</user-name>
          <password>******</password>
      </security>
  </datasource>
  

That is it. You now have all database communication logged in your server.log. Spy log is actually a bit too verbose for my liking, but you do have all the information.

Couple of things,

first, you need to find all the dependencies p6spy uses, what I could see from pom is, it uses gnu-regexp and regexp are used. JBoss doesn't add them automatically, There could be more. Add these in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml and manifest.

Second, the spy.properties file needs to be added to the resources.

Sometime back I tried to hookup JMSBridge from HornetQ with SAR module. But this was just an MBean, now you have dependency jars, and a properties file.

SAR Module

Hope this helps and good luck

First of all , you will need spy.properties file in you JBOSS classpath. Since the default JBoss classpath points to tools.jar and run.jar, you may need to update your jboss classpath. ex:

set JBOSS_CLASSPATH=E:\jboss-1.1.1\server\directoryX

Assuming that spy.properties in this directoryX

P6Spy will be activated for your connection pool if you define it as the way you define other jdbc drivers. For example , Inside your datasrouce definition:

    <jndi-name>"your jndi name"</jndi-name>
<connection-url>"conn url"</connection-url>
**<driver-class>com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6SpyDriver</driver-class>**

    <user-name>"uid"</user-name>
    <password>"pswd"</password>
    <!-- pool sizes-->

Good Luck.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, p6spy does not seem to support XA datasources (1) (2), which the above JBoss 7.x configuration requires.
