Creating blueprint binding XML files

The blueprint binding XML file, ibm-eba-bnd.xml, contains the resource references to authentication alias binding for a bundle. If an OSGi application contains an OSGi blueprint binding configuration file when it is deployed as an asset, the binding configuration file provides the default authentication alias values that are used when binding the resource references.

Procedure

  1. Open the blueprint XML file for which you want to create the binding XML file.
  2. Click Open WebSphere Blueprint Bindings Descriptor to create an OSGi blueprint configuration file that contains the resource references to authentication alias binding for a bundle. The Create New Blueprint Binding File dialog box opens.
  3. Click OK to create a new binding file. The Blueprint Binding XML editor opens.
  4. Click Add to add the component assembly and configuration information to your blueprint configuration file:
    Resource Reference
    The resource-ref element specifies the logical names of application server resources.
    Authentication Alias
    The authentication alias is used for securing the resource reference.
    Interface
    Identifies the interface for the resource reference. The interface can be any of the following types:
    • Default messaging JMS queues destinations
    • Default messaging JMS topic destinations
    • Data source
    • 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
