Use this page to designate how the resource references
of application modules map to the actual resources that are configured
for the application.
To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Enterprise
Applications > application_name > Resource references.
Guidelines for using this administrative console page:
- If your application uses any of the following resource types,
you can set or reset their mapping configurations:
- Default messaging JMS queues destinations
- Default messaging JMS topic destinations
- Data sources
- Generic JMS connection factory
- Mail session
- J2C connection factory
- JMS queue connection factory for the JMS provider of WebSphere
MQ
- JMS queue destination for WebSphere MQ
- JMS topic connection factory for WebSphere MQ
- JMS topic destination for WebSphere MQ
- Unified JMS connection factory for WebSphere MQ
- URL configuration
- The page is comprised of sections that correspond to each applicable
resource type. Each section heading is the class name for the resource.
If your application contains only one applicable resource type, you
see only one section.
- Each section contains a table. Each table row depicts a resource
reference within a specific module of your application.
- The rows contain the JNDI names of resource mapping targets for
your references only if you bound them together during application
assembly. You can modify those bindings on this administrative console
page.
- To set your mappings:
- Select a row.
- Click Browse to select a resource from the new page that
is displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources
page shows all resources that are available mapping targets for your
application references.
- Click Apply. The console displays the Resource references
page again. In the rows that you previously selected, you now see
the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.
- Repeat the previous steps as necessary.
- Click OK. You now return to the general configuration page
for your enterprise application.
- For data sources and connection factories: Sections for
these resource types contain an additional set of steps for modifying
your security settings. Use the last column in the displayed table
to view the authorization type for each resource configuration per
application module. You can modify the corresponding authentication
method only if the authorization type is container. Container-managed
authorization indicates that the product performs signon to the resource
rather than the enterprise bean code. The reconfiguring process differs
slightly for each authentication method option:
- If you select None:
- Determine which resource configurations to designate with no authentication
method.
- Select the appropriate table rows.
- Select None from the list of authentication method options
that precede the table.
- Click Apply.
- If you select Default:
- Determine which resources to designate with the WebSphere Application
Server DefaultPrincipalMapping login configuration. You must apply
this option to each resource individually if you want to designate
different authentication data aliases. See the "J2EE Connector security"
Information center topic for more information on the default mapping
configuration.
- Select the appropriate table rows.
- Select Use default method from the list of authentication
method options that precede the table.
- Select an authentication data entry or alias from the list.
- Click Apply.
- If you select Use trusted connections
(one-to-one mapping):
- You must have a data source server that is running DB2 Version
9.1 for z/OS, and the data source must have trusted context enabled.
- Select an authentication alias from the list that matches an alias
that is already defined in the DB2 data source. If you do not have
an alias defined that is suitable, you need to define a new alias.
- Select a data source from the table that has trusted context enabled.
- Click Apply.
- To edit the properties of the custom login configuration, click Mapping
Properties in the table cell.
- If you select Custom login configuration:
- Determine which resources to designate with a custom Java Authentication
and Authorization Service (JAAS) login configuration. See the "J2EE
Connector security" Information center topic for more information
on custom JAAS login configurations.
- Select the appropriate table row.
- Select Use custom login configuration from the list of
authentication method options that precede the table.
- Select an application login configuration from the list.
- Click Apply.
- To edit the properties of the custom login configuration, click Mapping
Properties in the table cell.
