Configure two resource reference files on the same data source

We can configure two resource reference files on the same data source. This allows you to extend the custom properties for the data source to be extended to include two different schema names (currentSQLId on z/OS or currentSchema name in the custom properties) that can be used to exploit the capabilities of the application server. When an EntityManager is created, the application server obtains a connection to the database. When you are using a pessimistic transaction, the EntityManager will retain that connection until the EntityManager is closed. When there are two EntityManagers that extend the data source definitions, the openjpa.jdbc.TransactionIsolation property might cause a problem with the transaction. This property can be found in the persistence.xml file in the following entry:

property name="openjpa.jdbc.TransactionIsolation" value="read-committed"

In order to satisfy this request, Java Persistence API (JPA) will obtain a connection and immediately call setTransactionIsolation(READ_COMMITTED). When we have two EntityManagers share a single physical connection to the database, the first EntityManager creates a connection to the database and involves that connection in a transaction. When the second EntityManager creates a connection, it is not able to change the isolation level.

We can avoid this problem by creating two resource reference files in the same data source. We can create the resource references with Rational Application Developer or by editing the XML files. You will need to make changes to the ejb-jar.xml, ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml, ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml, persistence.xml files.

For IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime, if this is an XA data source define a new custom property on the data source where property_name = downgradeHoldCursorsUnderXa and boolean value = true. See the following sections for information on how to accomplish this:

• Configure two resource reference files on the same data source using Rational Application Developer.
• Configure two resource reference files on the same data source by editing the XML files.

  2. Edit the ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml file

     1. Create the WebSphere EJB bindings descriptor if it doesn't already exist
        1. Go to the context menu of the EJB project and select Java EE > Generate WebSphere Bindings Deployment Descriptor.

     2. Edit the bindings descriptor:

        1. In the project's META-INF directory, select the ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml file.

     3. Add a binding element for the session bean to the bindings descriptor:

        1. In the left pane, select EJB Jar Bindings node and click Add.

        2. In the dialog, select Session and click OK.

        3. In the right pane, enter the name of the session bean.

     4. Add the bindings for the resource references to the session bean:

        1. In the left pane, select the session bean and click Add.

        2. In the dialog, select Resource Reference and click OK.

        3. In the left pane, select the resource reference.

        4. In the right pane, enter the name and binding name for the reference
        5. Repeat for the second resource reference.

     5. Save the editor

  3. Edit the ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml file.

     1. Create the WebSphere EJB extensions descriptor if it doesn't already exist:
        1. Go to the context menu of the EJB project and select Java EE > Generate WebSphere Extensions Deployment Descriptor.

     2. Edit the extensions descriptor:

        1. In the project's META-INF directory, select the ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml file.

     3. Add an extensions element for the session bean to the extensions descriptor:

        1. In the left pane, select the EJB Jar Extensions node and click Add.

        2. In the dialog, select Session and click OK.

        3. In the right pane, enter the name of the session bean.

     4. Define the isolation level for the resource references:

        1. In the left pane, select the session bean and click Add.

        2. In the dialog, select Resource Reference and click OK.

        3. In the left pane, select the resource reference.

        4. In the right pane, enter the name and the isolation level.
        5. Repeat for the second resource reference.

     5. Save the editor

  4. Edit the persistence.xml file.

     1. Add JPA support to the EJB project, which will create the persistence.xml file:

        1. From the project's context menu, select Properties.

        2. In the left pane, select the Project Facets node.

        3. In the right pane, check the box beside Java Persistence.
