Use the Outbound Adapter pane
The Outbound Adapter pane displays information that is stored in the <outboundresourceadapter> element of the ra.xml.
You can navigate to this pane by clicking OutboundResourceAdapter in the Components section of the Overview pane or by clicking the Outbound Adapter tab at the bottom of the pane.
The sections of the Outbound Adapter pane are described as:
Outbound resource adapter pane
The General Information section allows you to specify deployment descriptor values associated with the outbound resource adapter. You can specify the level of transaction support, if any, and whether reauthentication is supported.
The Connection Definitions section allows you to specify an outbound connection definition. This connection definition is used by the application server to obtain a physical connection to the EIS. Clicking the Add button under the Connection Definitions list on the left side of the editor displays the following dialog box, which allows you to specify all required connection definition information.
Add Connection Definition dialog
A Connection Definition requires the following information:
- ConnectionFactory Interface
- ConnecitonFactory Implementation Class
- Connection Interface
- Connection Implementation Class
- ConnectionRequestInfo Class
- ManagedConnectionFactory Class
Once a connection definition is defined all properties inherited by the specified ManangedConnectionFactory are shown in the properties list directly under the ManagedConnectionFactory Class.
You can specify default values and descriptions for these inherited properties. In addition, you can add, update or delete your own user-defined configuration properties using the Add, Edit, and Remove buttons on the right side of the editor.
Add Config property dialog
When you add, modify, or delete user-defined properties in this section, the editor creates (or removes) the corresponding JavaBeans properties in your code. See Modify properties.
The Authentication Mechanisms section allows you to specify the authentication mechanisms supported by the resource adapter.
