J2C Administered Object settings

Specify the settings for a Java 2 Connector (J2C) administered object.

Administered object definitions and classes are provided by a resource adapter when we install it. Using this information, the administrator can create and configure J2C administered objects with JNDI names that are then available for applications to use. Some messaging styles may need applications to use special administered objects for sending and synchronously receiving messages (through connection objects using messaging style specific APIs). It is also possible that administered objects may be used to perform transformations on an asynchronously received message in a message provider-specific way. Administered objects can be accessed by a component using either a resource environment reference or a message destination reference (preferred).

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

• Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters > resource_adapter > J2C administered objects > J2C_administered_object
• Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters > J2C administered objects > J2C_administered_object

Scope

Scope of the resource adapter that supports this administered object. Only applications installed within this scope can use this object.

Provider

Resource adapter that encapsulates the appropriate classes for this administrative object.

For new objects, a list of available resource adapters appears in a drop-down list. After creating the administered object, the field is a read only text field.

Information	Value
Data type	Drop-down list or text

Name

Name of the J2C administered object instance.

A string with no spaces meant to be a meaningful text identifier for the administered object. This name is required.

Information	Value
Data type	String

JNDI name

JNDI name that this administered object is bound under.

The JNDI name is required. If we do not specify one, it is created from the Name field. If not specified, the JNDI name defaults to eis/[name]

Information	Value
Data type	String

Description

Text description of the J2C administered object instance.

Information	Value
Data type	String

Administered object class

For new objects, the list of available classes is provided by the resource adapter in a drop-down list. We can only select classes from this list.

After creating the administered object, we cannot modify the administered object class; it is read only.

Information	Value
Data type	Class name
