Configure J2EE Connector connection factories in the administrative console
To access an enterprise information system (EIS), configure connection factories, which instantiate resource adapter classes for establishing and maintaining resource connections.
Overview
An application component uses a connection factory to access a connection instance, which the component then uses to connect to the underlying enterprise information system (EIS). Examples of connections include database connections, JMS connections, and SAP R/3 connections.
