Creating a project for the adapter

The first task in deploying the adapter is to create a J2EE(TM) connector project for the adapter. The resource adapter archive (RAR) file for the Adapter for JDBC needs to be imported into WebSphere(R) Integration Developer. This sets up the project in your workspace in WebSphere Integration Developer.

Steps for this task

  1. Start WebSphere Integration Developer

    For details, refer to the WebSphere Integration Developer user guide at http://www/ibm.com/software/integration.wid.

  2. Import the RAR file

    In WebSphere Integration Developer go to the Business Integration perspective. Click File > Import. In the Select window, select RAR file as the import source and click Next.

    In the Connector Import window, use the Browse button to select the location of the RAR file. A project name automatically appears in the Connector project field, but you can change it if you want.

    Deselect the check box Add module to an EAR project.

    Click Finish to import the RAR file. This creates a J2EE Connector project in the workspace.

  3. Add the JDBC driver to the connector project

    You need to add the JDBC driver to the connector project for it to become part of the enterprise application archive (EAR) file that you will deploy to the application server. You can do this either after you import the RAR file, or after you install the EAR on the application server.

    After you import the RAR file, you would add the JAR file to the appropriate folder in the workspace. For example, the JAR file could be added to this location: C:\workspace\CWYBC_JDBC\connectorModule

    Instead, if you want to add the JDBC driver to the connector project after you install the EAR on the application server, then after installing the application you would add the JAR file to the RAR subdirectory of the installedApps directory of WebSphere Process Server. See "Deploying the adapter project" for details on installing the application on the application server.
