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, you can achieve this mapping by specifying 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 the mappings, as required, by entering the appropriate values in the JNDI Name column.

administrative console, click one of the following paths:
Note: The Map web module resource references to resources wizard step and the Web module resource references property are visible only if the bundle includes a web application.

- Composite bundle identifier
- This identifier is displayed only 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.
- Composite bundle symbolic name
- The non-localizable name for this composite bundle.
- Composite bundle version
- The version of this composite bundle.
The symbolic name, together with the version, uniquely identifies a composite bundle.
- Bundle symbolic name
- The non-localizable name for this bundle.
- Bundle version
- The version of this bundle.
The bundle symbolic name, together with the bundle version, uniquely identifies a bundle.
- Resource Reference
- The name of a resource reference that is used in the application, if applicable, and is declared in the deployment descriptor of the WAB.
- Resource Type
- The type of the resource reference.
You can use this panel to
specify bindings for any
resource-ref (resource
reference) resource, as defined in the Java™ specification
JSR-250: Common Annotations for the Java Platform.
For example:
- Data source
- Generic JMS connection factory
- Mail session
- J2C connection factory
- JMS queue connection factory for the JMS provider of WebSphere® MQ
- JMS topic connection factory for WebSphere MQ
- Unified JMS connection factory for WebSphere MQ
- URL configuration
- JNDI name
- The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name of the resource that is the mapping target of the resource reference.
- Login configuration
- The authorization type and the authentication method for securing the resource. Container-managed authorization indicates that the product signs on to the resource rather than the enterprise bean code.

To specify the JNDI name mapping for a specific web module
resource reference, use this option to select the resource reference
from a list of available resources.

Modify Resource Authentication Method
|
You can select one
of the following options: - None
- Use default method (many-to-one mapping)
- For information about the default
mapping configuration, see J2EE
connector security.
- Select this option, then select an authentication alias from the
list.
- Use trusted connections (one-to-one mapping)
- Use this option if your resource is a data source that has trusted
context enabled.
- Select this option, then select an authentication alias from the
list that matches an alias that is already defined in the data source.
- Use custom login configuration
- For information about custom Java Authentication and Authorization
Service (JAAS) login configurations, see J2EE
connector security.
- Select this option, then select a JAAS login configuration from
the list.

Extended properties
|
If
your resource is a data source, and the back-end database supports
extended data source custom properties, you can use this option to
add, modify, or delete these properties. These are custom properties,
in the form of name/value pairs, that you can use to obtain a data
source. Note: If you use multiple values for an extended data source
property, you must enclose those values in quotation marks.
For more information, see Extended data source properties.

Define
arbitrary name and value pairs for extended data source properties
that apply to the resource authentication method. This button is visible
only if you have selected Use trusted connections or Use
custom login configuration for the resource authentication
method.
