Binding EJB and resource references
Follow these steps to bind an enterprise bean local reference (or nickname) to a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name.
Procedure
- Start the Application Server Toolkit.
- Optional: Open the J2EE perspective to work with J2EE projects. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other > J2EE.
- In the J2EE view, select the EJB module to open its deployment descriptor.
- Switch to the References page.
- Expand the tree under your chosen bean and select the appropriate reference.
- In the WebSphere bindings section, specify the JNDI name.
- Repeat these steps for all the references in the EJB module.
- Save the deployment descriptor.
Reference bindings can be defined or overridden at deployment time in the administrative console for all modules except for application clients. For those, use the Application Server Toolkit.
