JBoss global defaults are defined in the standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml file of the server/<server-name>/conf/ directory. Each application can override the global defaults in the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml file. The default options are contained in a defaults element of the configuration file, and the content model is shown below.

An example of the defaults section follows:

<jbosscmp-jdbc>
    <defaults>
        <datasource>java:/DefaultDS</datasource>
        <datasource-mapping>Hypersonic SQL</datasource-mapping>
        <create-table>true</create-table>
        <remove-table>false</remove-table>
        <read-only>false</read-only>
        <read-time-out>300000</read-time-out>
        <pk-constraint>true</pk-constraint>
        <fk-constraint>false</fk-constraint>
        <row-locking>false</row-locking>
        <preferred-relation-mapping>foreign-key</preferred-relation-mapping>
        <read-ahead>
            <strategy>on-load</strategy>
            <page-size>1000</page-size>
            <eager-load-group>*</eager-load-group>
        </read-ahead>
        <list-cache-max>1000</list-cache-max>
    </defaults>
</jbosscmp-jdbc>
