Saving the adapter project

After you specify selection properties, you configure properties that the adapter uses to set up a communication channel to a specific database. These include Resource adapter, J2C connection factory, J2C activation specification, and bidirectional properties. You also need to create a new business integration module where all the artifacts and property values can be saved.

Steps for this task

  1. Specify new module name

    In the Generate artifacts window, which is shown below, unless a module name appears in the Module field, you need to click New. In the New Module pop-up window, enter the module name and click Finish.

  2. Specify folder for Service Description

    In the Generate Artifacts window, either specify or browse for a folder within the new module where the Service Description will be saved.

    Depending on the Service Type you selected, either the import or export file name appears in the Name field. You could add a comment in the Description field.

    If you click Edit Operations, a pop-up window appears with the default names of all the operations for the business objects you are creating. The default names comprise the operation name combined with the business object name.
    Note: The Deploy connector with module check box must be checked to ensure that the connector project RAR file is included in the EAR file that you deploy to the application server.
  3. Set configuration property values

    The option Use connection properties specified on server can be used in the future after you deploy the project, whenever you need to create new business objects. It indicates that you want to use the properties already on the application server. The J2C Authentication Data Entry field is used to specify an authentication alias when one has already been set up on the application server. The JNDI Lookup Name is used to name the connection factory that will be used on the application server.

    This image is described in the surrounding text.

    Generate Artifacts window

    To set property values, select Use discovered connection properties.

    For inbound processing, the property fields appear for the J2C activation specification and Resource adapter properties. For outbound processing, the property fields appear for the J2C connection factory and Resource adapter properties. If you have activated bidirectional transformation, the bidirectional property fields appear for inbound or outbound processing. Required property fields are marked with an asterisk. For details on these configuration properties, see the "Reference" section.
    Important: If you specify J2C activation specification properties at this time using the enterprise service discovery wizard, the property settings cannot be changed later. After you deploy the project as a new application on the application server, you will not be able to update the J2C activation specification properties using the WebSphere Process Server administrative console, even though you will be able to change other configuration properties using the administrative console. If you try to update the properties later, the adapter will not recognize the updated values. If you want to set the J2C activation specification properties after installing the project on the application server, do not set those property values now.
