Use the Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor
The Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor provides an easy and convenient way to configure your resource adapter.
Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor
You configure the resource adapter by using a deployment descriptor. The deployment descriptor—the ra.xml file— is generated by the wizard and included in your Java™ Connector Project.
The editor is made up multiple pages each of which represents a major section of the ra.xml file. Changes made in the editor are saved directly to the ra.xml file in your Java Connector Project.
The editor allows you to display and modify all elements of the ra.xml file. You can also add properties. After each modification, this file is validated against its schema definition to ensure its validity.
Any validation problems with the ra.xml file are displayed in the Problems view of the development environment.
- Displaying the deployment descriptor
Once you complete the New Connector Project wizard your workspace is switched to the Java EE perspective and your deployment descriptor displays using the Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor.- Modify deployment descriptor properties
When you modify configuration properties, the Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor automatically updates source code with corresponding JavaBeans properties.- Editing deployment descriptor source
You can view and edit the deployment descriptor of your adapter directly.
