Configuring the data source in the application server
The data source for the application server can be created in several ways, including these:
| Enhanced EAR-This is the ideal option for deploying the application to the Integrated Application Server in RAD v7.5, but because we are deploying to the stand-alone server, we are not using the enhanced EAR functionality. |
|
| Scripting using the wsadmin command line interface-For details, refer to the Application Server v7.0 InfoCenter. This is also covered in the second part of this chapter, which is about the automated deployment using Jython-based wsadmin scripting. |
|
| WebSphere administrative console-For our example, we create and configure the data source for the ITSO Bank application using the administrative console of the target stand-alone Application Server v7.0. |
The high-level configuration steps to configure the data source within Application Server for the ITSO Bank application sample are as follows:
|
| Starting the application server |
|
| Starting the administrative console |
|
| Configuring the JDBC provider |
|
| Creating the data source |
