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, the 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 the 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.


Required

Specifies that a value must be provided for this property of the resource, otherwise a warning occurs. For a new custom property, this field is not available.

Data type Check box


Name

Name associated with this property, for example, PortNumber, ConnectionURL.

Information Value
Data type String


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.
