Connector

The connector element is the root element of the deployment descriptor for the resource adapter. This element includes general information - vendor name, version, specification version supported, icon - about the resource adapter module. It also includes information specific to the implementation of the resource adapter library as specified through the element resourceadapter.

Attribute Details

displayName    -    Contains a short name that is intended to be displayed by tools. The display name need not be unique.
     data type:  String
     default Value:   unspecified



description    -    The description is used to provide text describing the connector. The description element should include any information thatthe resource adapter rar file producer wants to provide to the consumer of the resource adapter rar file (i.e., to the Deployer). Typically, the tools used by the resource adapter rar file consumer will display the description when processing the parent element that contains the description.
     data type:  String
     default Value:   unspecified



smallIcon    -    The small-icon element contains the name of a file containing a small (16 x 16) icon image. The file name is a relative path within the resource adapter's rar file.The image may be either in the JPEG or GIF format. The icon can be used by tools.

This information enables deployer to configure the resource adapter to support deployment and runtime requirements of the corresponding connector architecture specification.
     data type:  String
     default Value:   unspecified



eisType    -    Contains information about the type of the EIS. For example, the type of an EIS can be product name of EIS independent of any version info.This helps in identifying EIS instances that can be used withthis resource adapter.
     data type:  String
     default Value:   unspecified



version    -    Specifies a string-based version of the resource adapter from the resource adapter provider.Example: 1.0
     data type:  String
     default Value:   unspecified



license    -    Specifies licensing requirements for the resource adapter module. This element specifies whether a license is required to deploy and use this resource adapter, and an optional description of the licensing terms (examples: duration of license, number ofconnection restrictions).
