Configure an administered object for a third-party JCA resource adapter
We can configure an administered object for a Java Connector Architecture (JCA), also called J2EE Connector (J2C), resource adapter that is not included as part of the WebSphere Application Server.
This task assumes that we have installed the resource adapter for the third-party provider, as described in Install a resource adapter archive.
Configure a JCA administered object for a JCA resource adapter other than the default messaging provider or the IBM MQ messaging provider.
Tasks
- Start the administrative console.
- Display the resource adapter. In the navigation pane, click...
Resources > Resource Adapters > adapter_name. This displays in the content pane a table of properties for the resource adapter, including links to the types of JCA resource that it provides.
- Optional: Change the Scope setting to the scope level at which the administered object is to be visible to applications, according to our needs.
- In the content pane, under the Additional Properties heading, click J2C Administered Objects. This lists any existing administered objects for the resource adapter.
- Display the properties of the administered object.
To display an existing administered object, click one of the names listed.
Alternatively, to create a new administered object, click New, then specify the following required properties:
- Name
- Type the name by which the administered object is known for administrative purposes. The JNDI name is automatically generated based on the value for the Name property.
- Administered object class
- Select the administered object class that this instance should support. This list is based on the deployment descriptor of the resource adapter.
Depending on the resource adapter, there can be additional required properties that supply. To provide values for these properties, click Custom properties. When creating a new administered object, we might have to click Apply before this custom property selection is available.
- Specify properties for the administered object, according to our needs.
- Click OK.
- Save changes to the master configuration.
