Resource environment references

Resource environment references

Use this page to designate how the resource environment references of application modules map to remote resources, which are represented in the product as resource environment entries.

From the admin console, click...
Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Resource environment references.

We can also view this page during the Map resource environment references to resources step when we install an application.

Each row of the table depicts a resource environment reference within a specific module of the application. If we bound any references to resource environment entries during application assembly, we see the JNDI names of those resource environment entries in the applicable rows.

To set the mapping relationships between your resource environment references and resource environment entries:

Select a row. If you check multiple rows on this page, the resource mapping target that we select in step 2 applies to all of those references.
Click Browse to select a resource environment entry from the new page displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources page shows all resource environment entries available mapping targets for the application references.
Click Apply. The console displays the Resource environment references page again. In the rows that we previously selected, you now see the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.
Repeat the previous steps as necessary.
Click OK. You now return to the general configuration page for our enterprise application.

Set Multiple JNDI Names Display a list of JNDI names. Select a JNDI name to set the same JNDI name on multiple resources with one operation. The selected JNDI name is applied to the Target Resource JNDI Name field of all the selected rows of the table.
Use Java EE Default Bindings For data source, connection factory, and work manager resources, sets the resource JNDI name to the default Java EE binding for the resource type. The JNDI name is applied to the Target Resource JNDI Name field of the table.
The resource module must be installed on a server on a version 9.0 node.

Table column heading descriptions:

Select

Select the check boxes of the rows to edit.

Module

The name of a module in the application.

Bean

The name of an enterprise bean that is accessed by the module.

URI

Specifies location of the module relative to the root of the application EAR file.

Resource Reference

The name of a resource environment reference that is declared in the deployment descriptor of the application module. The reference corresponds to a resource that is bound as a resource environment entry into the JNDI name space of the application server.

Target Resource JNDI Name

The JNDI name of the resource environment entry that is the mapping target of the resource environment reference.

Configure new resource environment entries to map logical environment resource names to physical names
