Resource environment entries page

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.

An environment resource can be of any arbitrary type. See the latest EJB specification for more information about resource environment references and environment resources.

We can access this dmgr console page in one of two ways:

• Resources > Resource Environment > Resource environment entries

Subtopics

• Resource environment entry settings
  Use this page to configure 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. Rather than represent a connection factory, which provides connections to a resource, this object directly represents a resource. This design can make the resource available to application modules that do not run entirely on the application server. Examples include some application clients and web modules.
