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:

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.

Data type String

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.

Data type String
Important: Adhere to the following requirements for JNDI names:

Description

Specifies a text description for the resource.

Data type String

Category

Specifies a category string that you can use to classify or group the resource.

Data type String

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.
