Advanced resource adapter properties

Use this page to specify advanced settings for resource adapters that comply with the Version 1.5 Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Connector Architecture (JCA) specification.

A resource adapter is an implementation of the Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) specification that provides access for applications to an enterprise information system (EIS), like DB2®, CICS®, SAP and PeopleSoft, or provides access for an EIS to applications on the server. A resource adapter can also provide an EIS with the ability to communicate with message-driven beans that are configured on the server. Some resource adapters are provided by IBM®, but third party vendors can provide their own resource adapters.

A resource adapter implementation is provided in a resource adapter archive file; this file has an extension of .rar. A resource adapter can be provided as a stand-alone adapter or as part of an application, in which case it is referred to as an embedded adapter. Use this panel to install a stand-alone resource adapter archive file. Embedded adapters are installed as part of the application installation.

Restrict the JVM to allow only one instance of this resource adapter

Prevents more than one instance of a resource adapter JavaBean with a unique resource adapter implementation class name from existing in the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This field is only available on resource archives that allow definitions for activation specifications.

Avoid trouble: Enabling this setting imposes a restrictive condition on the inbound communications. For example, if two applications embed the same resource adapter, only the first application to start will be able to access resources through its embedded resource adapter. If a stand-alone resource adapter is configured for a single instance, no applications that embed that same resource adapter will be able to access resources.gotcha
