You add resource adapters to J2EE applications.

Before adding a resource adapter, confirm that another resource adapter is not deployed with the same display name or the optional name as the resource adapter you want to add. If another resource adapter with the same display name or the optional name is deployed, you cannot add the resource adapter to the J2EE application. Note that you can use the same display name or the optional name as that of the resource adapters included in other J2EE applications.

To add resource adapters to J2EE applications:

1. Import RAR files of resource adapters into a J2EE server.
   For details on importing RAR files to be added to J2EE applications, see 7.4 Importing resource adapters (RAR files).
   
2. Add the imported RAR files to J2EE applications.
   For details on adding the resource adapters (RAR files) to J2EE applications, see (3) Adding RAR files in 7.5 Creating a new J2EE application.
