1.2.2 Setup for resource adapters

(1) Types of resource adapters

The types of resource adapters deployed and used as the J2EE resource adapters are as follows:

• DB Connector

  Use this resource adapter when you use the JDBC interface for connecting to a database.

• DB Connector for Cosminexus RM and Cosminexus RM

  Use this resource adapter when you use JMS interface for connecting to a database.

  For DB Connector for Cosminexus RM, see 2.7 Functions of DB Connector for Reliable Messaging, and for the management of Cosminexus RM, see 2.3 Managing messages in the manual Cosminexus Reliable Messaging.

• uCosminexus TP1 Connector

  Use this resource adapter for connecting to SPP of OpenTP1.

• TP1/Message Queue - Access

  Use this resource adapter for connecting to TP1/Message Queue.

• Other resource adapters

  You can use resource adapters compliant with Connector 1.5 for connecting to the optional resources.

(2) Flow of resource adapter management

The basic flow of resource adapter management is as follows:

1. Importing the resource adapters

2. Defining the resource adapter properties

3. Deploying the resource adapters

4. Testing the J2EE resource adapters for connectivity

5. Starting and stopping the J2EE resource adapters

6. Exporting the J2EE resource adapters

The description of above procedures is as follows:

• Importing the resource adapters

  You import the resource adapter.

• Defining the resource adapter properties

  You define the information required for connecting to a database.

• Deploying the resource adapters

  You deploy the imported resource adapter as a J2EE resource adapter. You can use the resource adapter deployed as the J2EE resource adapter from all the J2EE applications running on the J2EE server.

• Testing the J2EE resource adapters for connectivity

  You execute the connectivity test and confirm that the J2EE resource adapters are running correctly.

• Starting and stopping the J2EE resource adapters

  You start the J2EE resource adapters for which the setup is complete. Furthermore, stop the J2EE resource adapters according to the operations.

• Exporting the J2EE resource adapters

  You export the J2EE resource adapters according to the operations.

  To connect to a database, you must specify the database settings.

  Furthermore, if you want to use resource adapters, you must resolve the resource adapter references in J2EE applications. You resolve the resource adapter references by customizing J2EE applications. For an overview of customization of J2EE applications, see 1.3 Managing J2EE applications.
