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.
