Resource environment entry settings
Use this page to configure resource environment entries. Within
an application server name space, the data contained in a resource environment
entry is converted into an object that represents a physical resource. Rather
than represent a connection factory, which provides connections to a resource,
this object directly represents a resource. This design can make the
resource available to application modules that do not run entirely on the
application server. Examples include some application clients and Web modules.
You can access this administrative console page in one
of two ways:
- Resources > Resource Environment > Resource environment
entries > resource_environment_entry
- Resources >Resource Environment > Resource Environment
Providers > resource_environment_provider > Resource Environment
Entries > resource_environment_entry
Configuration tab
- Scope
Specifies the scope of the resource environment provider, which
is a library that supplies the implementation class for a resource environment
factory. Within a JNDI name space, WebSphere Application Server uses the factory
to transform your resource environment entry into an object that directly
represents a physical resource.
- Provider
Specifies the resource environment provider.
Provider shows all of the existing resource environment providers
that are defined at the relevant scope. Select one from the list if you want
to use an existing resource environment provider as Provider.
- Name
Specifies a display name for the resource.
- JNDI name
Specifies the JNDI name for the resource, including any naming
subcontexts.
This name is used as the linkage between the platform's binding information
for resources defined by a module's deployment descriptor and actual resources
bound into JNDI by the platform.
Important: Adhere to the following requirements for JNDI names:
- Do not assign duplicate JNDI names across different resource types (such
as resource environment entries versus J2C connection factories).
- Do not assign duplicate JNDI names for multiple resources of the same
type in the same scope.
- Description
Specifies a text description for the resource.
- Category
Specifies a category string that you can use to classify or group
the resource.
- Referenceables
Specifies the referenceable, which encapsulates the class name
of the factory that converts resource environment entry data into a class
instance for a physical resource.
