My experience with using Jaybird with JBoss has been quite good, and that's
coming from having used a much more expensive JDBC driver for another
commercial RDBMS.

I suspect that a large part of the reason that comments / issues regarding
the combination of JBoss and Jaybird sometimes don't have clean answers
is that J2EE development is often a large and complex thing; it doesn't
generally lend itself well to building small and repeatable test cases
that demonstrate a problem. With this in mind, I feel that there is often a
good chance that JBoss/Jaybird problems are more often related to the
software that is using them than to the underlying app-server and JDBC/JCA
driver.
