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.
To view this panel in the administrative console, click the following path:
Binding a resource reference maps a resource dependency of the Web module 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 contain the JNDI names of resource mapping targets for your references only if you bound them together during application assembly. You can modify those bindings on this administrative console page.

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. For more information about this option, see Extended data source properties (online). |
