Configure new resource environment entries to map logical environment resource names to physical names

Configure new resource environment entries. These entries define environment resources that are the binding targets for resource-environment-references in an application's deployment descriptor.

1. Configure a resource environment provider, which is a library that provides the implementation for an environment resource factory. In the administration console, begin by clicking Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers > New. See the topic New Resource Environment Provider for more information.

2. After saving the resource environment provider, go to the Additional Properties heading and click Resource environment entries. Click New to define a new resource environment entry. Refer to the topic Resource environment entry settings for descriptions of the required fields.

3. You also might need to create a referenceable, which specifies the factory class name that converts information in the name space into a class instance for the resource. To view the appropriate console page for referenceables, click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers > your_resource_environment_provider > Referenceables. Click New to begin the configuration process. See the topic Referenceable settings for descriptions of the required fields.

Subtopics

• Resource environment providers and resource environment entries
  A resource environment reference maps a logical name used by the client application to the physical name of an object.

• Resource environment provider collection
  Use this page to view resource environment providers, which encapsulate the referenceables that convert resource environment entry data into resource objects.

• Resource environment entries collection
  Use this page to view configured resource environment entries. Within an application server name space, the data contained in a resource environment entry is converted into an object that represents a physical resource. This resource is frequently called an environment resource.

• Referenceables collection
  Use this page to view configured referenceables, which encapsulate the class name of the factory that converts information in the name space into a class instance for a physical resource.

• Resource environment references
  Use this page to designate how the resource environment references of application modules map to remote resources, which are represented in the product as resource environment entries.
