Configuring J2EE Connector connection factories in the administrative console

To access an enterprise information system (EIS), configure connection factories, which instantiate resource adapter classes for establishing and maintaining resource connections.

About this task

An application component uses a connection factory to access a connection instance, which the component then uses to connect to the underlying enterprise information system (EIS). Examples of connections include database connections, Java Message Service connections, and SAP R/3 connections.

Procedure

  1. Click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters.
  2. In the Resource adapters panel, select the resource adapter that you want to configure.
  3. Under the Additional Properties heading, click J2C connection factories.
    1. Click New.
    2. Specify any properties for the connection factory in the General Properties panel.
    3. Select the authentication preference.
    4. Select the aliases for component-managed authentication, container-managed authentication, or both. If there are no aliases that are available, or you want to define a different alias:
      1. Click Apply to save the current settings.
      2. Click JAAS - J2C authentication data from the Related Items heading.
      3. Click New.
      4. Define the properties for the alias in General Properties.
      5. Click OK.
    5. Click OK.
  4. Click the name of the J2C connection factory that you created.
  5. Under the Additional Properties heading, click Connection pool properties.
    1. Change any values by clicking the property name. For more information on the settings for connection pools, read Tuning connection pools or Connection pool settings.
    2. Click OK.
  6. Click Custom properties from the Additional Properties heading.
    1. Click any property name to change its value. If the UserName and Password properties are defined, they will be overridden by the component-managed authentication alias that you specified in a previous step.
    2. Click Save.
  7. Restart the application server for the changes to take effect.
