Configure new J2C connection factories

Use the wsadmin scripting tool to configure new Java 2 Connector connection factories.

Before starting this task, wsadmin.sh must be running. See the topic Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

To configure a new J2C connection factory:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newra variable.

   • Jacl:

     set newra [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/J2CResourceAdapter:RAR1/]

   • Jython:

     newra = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/J2CResourceAdapter:RAR1/')
     print newra

   Example output:

   RAR1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2CResourceAdapter_1)

2. There are two ways to configure a new J2C connection factory. Perform one of the following:

   • Use the AdminTask object:

     1. List the connection factory interfaces:

        • Jacl:

          $AdminTask listConnectionFactoryInterfaces $newra

        • Jython:

          AdminTask.listConnectionFactoryInterfaces(newra)

        Example output:

        javax.sql.DataSource

     2. Create a J2CConnectionFactory:

        • Jacl:

          $AdminTask createJ2CConnectionFactory $newra { -name cf1 -jndiName eis/cf1 -connectionFactoryInterface avax.sql.DataSource

        • Jython:

          AdminTask.createJ2CConnectionFactory(newra, '['-name', 'cf1', '-jndiName', 'eis/cf1', '-connectionFactoryInterface', 'avax.sql.DataSource']')

   • Use the AdminConfig object:

     1. Identify the required attributes:

        • Jacl:

          $AdminConfig required J2CConnectionFactory

        • Jython:

          print AdminConfig. required('J2CConnectionFactory')

        Example output:

        Attribute Type
        connectionDefinition ConnectionDefinition@ 

     2. If the resource adapter is JCA1.5 and we have multiple connection definitions defined, it is required specified the ConnectionDefinition attribute. If the resource adapter is JCA1.5 and we have only one connection definition defined, it will be picked up automatically. If the resource adapter is JCA1.0, we do not need to specify the ConnectionDefinition attribute. Perform the following command to list the connection definitions defined by the resource adapter:

        • Jacl:

          $AdminConfig list ConnectionDefinition $newra

        • Jython:

          print AdminConfig.list('ConnectionDefinition', $newra)

     3. Set up the required attributes:

        • Jacl:

          set name [list name J2CCF1]
          set jname [list jndiName eis/j2ccf1]
          set j2ccfAttrs [list $name]

        • Jython:

          name = ['name', 'J2CCF1']
          jname = ['jndiName', 'eis/j2ccf1']
          j2ccfAttrs = [name,jname]

     4. If we are specifying the ConnectionDefinition attribute, also set up the following:

        • Jacl:

          set cdattr [list connectionDefinition $cd]

        • Jython:

          cdattr = ['connectionDefinition', $cd]

     5. Create a J2C connection factory:

        • Jacl:

          $AdminConfig create J2CConnectionFactory $newra $j2ccfAttrs

        • Jython:

          print AdminConfig.create('J2CConnectionFactory', newra, j2ccfAttrs)

        Example output:

        J2CCF1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2CConnectionFactory_1)

3. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with wsadmin.sh for more information.

4. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with wsadmin.sh for more information.
