Custom property settings
Use this page to specify the attributes of custom properties that might be required for resource providers and resource factories.
According to the resource type with which a property collection is associated, your ability to modify individual property settings varies. Therefore, consider the following descriptions as a general reference for custom property settings. (The administrative console page that you are using to configure your custom property might only allow you to modify a subset of the following settings.)
We can access this administrative console page through several different paths, depending on the type of resource to which the custom properties belong, for example: Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters > resource_adapter > Custom Properties.
For transitioning users: The following list displays three custom properties that are no longer necessary in v6.1 and later. The product now offers these properties as pre-configured options to replace the properties in the following list:
- validateNewConnection -- replaced by Pretest new connection
- validateNewConnectionRetryCount -- replaced by Number of retries
- validateNewConnectionRetryInterval -- replaced by Retry interval
To avoid any configuration problems, set the properties through the console options, and do not enter them as custom properties.
To view the console panel with these options, click Data sources > data_source > WAS data source properties in the administrative console.

Value
Value associated with this property of the resource.
| Information | Value |

| Data type | Determined by the Type field. If the Type is java.lang.String, the text entered into the Value field is interpreted as a string. Similarly, if the Type is java.lang.Integer, the Value field is interpreted as numeric. This means that the text that is entered for the Value field must be able to be interpreted as indicated by the Type field, otherwise an error occurs. For example, attempting to create a property with a Type of java.lang.Integer and a Value of someValue results in an error. Only a numeric value can be properly interpreted for any of the available numeric types. |
