Data type String - JNDI Name
- The application client run-time uses this field to retreive configuration information. The name must match the value of the Name field on the General tab in the Application Client Resource Reference section of the Application Assembly Tool.
- Database Name
- The name of the database to which you want to connect.
- User
- Use the user ID with the Password property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly.
If you specify a value for the User ID property, also specify a value for the Password property. The connection factory User ID and Password properties are used if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly.
- Password
- Use the password with the User ID property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly.
If you specify a value for the User ID property, also specify a value for the Password property.

- Custom Properties
- Specifies name-value pairs for setting additional properties on the object that is created at runtime for this resource.
You must enter a name that is a public property on the object and a value that can be converted from a string to the type required by the set method of the property. The accectable properties and values depend on the object that is created. Refer to the object documentation for a list of valid properties and values.
