Hi Christian,

Nice to hear that it works well.

Yes ant is too old in RHEL right now. Amazingly since ant 1.8 has been 
out for 4 years by now.
It does work with SELinux yes.

I just ran "ant install" on Ubuntu with OpenJDK7 and jboss-eap-6.2.0. 
This does a web-configure and it worked for me.
JBoss-cli seems very sensitive however, and if you have less than 2-3 
cores it easily hangs. JBoss CLI is quite unstable unfortunately.

Is it repeatable?

How did you register your datasource? I just repeated this as well after 
registering my datasource according to the description in:
http://ejbca.org/docs/installation.html#JBoss

If I do like that, it will not find the driver if I use only com.mysql :-)

The only issue is that they have changed some default value in JBoss EAP 
6.2.0, which previously worked in 6.1.1.
https://jira.primekey.se/browse/ECA-3368

Will fix this so default deployment works with EAP 6.2 in the next release.

If you use MariaDB I can recommend using the MariaDB java driver.

Cheers,
Tomas
