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.
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....
The non-localizable name for this 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 enterprise bean, if applicable, and is declared in the deployment descriptor of the WAB.
The type of the resource reference.
The Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name of the resource that is the mapping target of the resource reference.
The authorization type and the authentication method for securing the resource. Container-managed authorization indicates that the product performs signon to the resource rather than the enterprise bean code.

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. |
