Map default data sources for modules containing 1.x entity beans

Set the default data source mapping for EJB modules that contain 1.x container-managed persistence (CMP) beans. Unless we configure individual data sources for our 1.x CMP beans, this default mapping applies to all beans within the module.

From the admin console, click...

        Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Map default data sources for modules containing 1.x entity beans.

Guidelines for using this administrative console page:

• The page displays a table that depicts the EJB modules in the application that contain 1.x CMP beans.
• Each table row corresponds to a module. A row shows the JNDI name of the data source mapping target of the EJB module only if you bound them together during application assembly. For every data source displayed, we see the corresponding security configuration.

• To set your default data source mappings:

  1. Select a row. If you check multiple rows on this page, the data source mapping target that we select in step 2 applies to all of those EJB modules.

  2. Click Browse to select a data source from the new page displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources page shows all data sources available mapping targets for your EJB modules.

  3. Click Apply. The console displays the 1.x entity bean data sources page again. In the rows that we previously selected, you now see the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.
  4. Before you click OK to save the new configuration, set the security parameters for the data source. Use the following steps.

• To specify security settings for the default data source:

  1. Select a row. If you check multiple rows on this page, the security settings that we select later apply to all of those data sources.

  2. Type in a user name and password that comprise the authentication alias for signing on to the data source. If these entries are not listed in the application Java EE Connector (J2C) authentication data list, we must input them into the list after saving our settings on this page. Read the information center topic on managing Java EE Connector Architecture authentication data entries for more information.

  3. Click Apply that immediately follows the user name and password input fields.

• Repeat all of the previous steps as necessary.

• Click OK to save your work.
