Configure JTDS datasource for Apache Shiro

I recently started to program a JSF application. I use ecplise neon with maven3 and jetty webserver for fast test deployment. Everything is fine so far, but now I wanted to try apache shiro, since it seems to be a pretty cool and good security framework.

Now since I user ms sql server i use the jtds db driver. But unfortunately I am not able to get shiro working, because of the following error:

[WARNING] Failed startup of context o.e.j.m.p.JettyWebAppContext@6ea04618{/,[file:///E:/Dev/JSF/Lister/Lister/src/main/webapp/, jar:file:///C:/Users/Dethrall/.m2/repository/com/sun/faces/jsf-impl/2.2.2/jsf-impl-2.2.2.jar!/META-INF/resources],UNAVAILABLE}{file:///E:/Dev/JSF/Lister/Lister/src/main/webapp/} org.apache.shiro.config.ConfigurationException: Property 'database' does not exist for object of type net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbcx.JtdsDataSource.

Especially interesting is the portion "Property 'database' does not exist..." So i looked in the according javadoc and there is indeed no property database.

This brings us down to my question. How am I supposed to configure a jtds datasource in the shiro.ini. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry btw cause I am a little overwhelmed with all this new stuff like maven, jsf, shiro, jetty and so on...

jdbcRealm = org.apache.shiro.realm.jdbc.JdbcRealm
jdbcRealm.authenticationQuery = SELECT password FROM trs_sec_t_users WHERE username = ?
jdbcRealm.userRolesQuery = SELECT role FROM trs_sec_t_roles WHERE username = ?

#jdbcRealm.credentialsMatcher = $sha256Matcher


[users]
#admin = admin, ROLE_ADMIN
#root = 1234, ROLE_ADMIN

[roles]
#ROLE_ADMIN = *

[urls]
/faces/users.xhtml = authc

Solution

In your shiro.ini, try: 'ds.databaseName = Lister'
