For each reference, specify the JNDI name under which the resource is known in the runtime environment. Optionally, set authentication properties and extended data source custom properties, which affect how the resource is accessed at run time.
Binding a resource reference maps a resource dependency of the web application to an actual resource available in the server runtime environment. At a minimum, this can be achieved by using a mapping that specifies the JNDI name under which the resource is known in the runtime environment. By default, the JNDI name is the resource ID that you specified in the web.xml file during development of the web application bundle (WAB).
The rows only contain the JNDI names of resource mapping targets for your references if you bound them together during application assembly. You can modify those bindings on this administrative console page.
To modify the authentication method or set extended data source custom properties, select a single reference then click Modify Resource Authentication Method... or Extended Properties....
This identifier is only displayed if the EBA asset uses composite bundles. Each composite bundle is identified by a string in the following form: Composite bundle archive (CBA)'composite.bundle.symbolic.name_composite.bundle.version'. Bundles that are part of a composite bundle are listed beneath the composite bundle identifier.
The symbolic name, together with the version, identifies a unique composite bundle.
The version of this bundle.
The bundle symbolic name, together with the bundle version, identifies a unique bundle.
The name of a resource reference that is used in the application, if applicable, and is declared in the deployment descriptor of the WAB.
The type of the resource reference.

If your resource is a data source, and the backend database supports extended data source custom properties, you can use this option to add, modify or delete these properties. These are custom properties (name/value pairs) that can be used (for example) to obtain a data source for you. Note: If you use multiple values for an
extended data source property, you must enclose those values in quotation
marks.
