Deploying and Configuring a Stand-Alone Connector Module

You can deploy a stand-alone connector module using the Admin Console or the asadmin command. For information about using the Admin Console, click the Help button in the Admin Console. For information about using the asadmin command, see the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 Reference Manual.

Deploying a stand-alone connector module allows multiple deployed Java EE applications to share the connector module. A resource adapter configuration is automatically created for the connector module.

To Deploy and Configure a Stand-Alone Connector Module

1. Deploy the connector module in one of the following ways.

   • In the Admin Console, open the Applications component and select Connector Modules. When you deploy the connector module, a resource adapter configuration is automatically created for the connector module.

   • Use the asadmin deploy or asadmin deploydir command. To override the default configuration properties of a resource adapter, if necessary, use the asadmin create-resource-adapter-config command.

2. Configure connector connection pools for the deployed connector module in one of the following ways:

   • In the Admin Console, open the Resources component, select Connectors, and select Connector Connection Pools.

   • Use the asadmin create-connector-connection-pool command.

3. Configure connector resources for the connector connection pools in one of the following ways.

   • In the Admin Console, open the Resources component, select Connectors, and select Connector Resources.

   • Use the asadmin create-connector-resource command.

   This associates a connector resource with a JNDI name.

4. Create an administered object for an inbound resource adapter, if necessary, in one of the following ways:

   • In the Admin Console, open the Resources component, select Connectors, and select Admin Object Resources.

   • Use the asadmin create-admin-object command.
