This chapter describes the various components that you must configure in order to use an EIS project.
This chapter includes the following sections:
For information on how to configure TopLink project options common to two or more project types, see Chapter 117, "Configuring a Project".
Table 73-1 lists the configurable options for EIS projects.
Table 73-1 lists the configurable options for EIS projects.

For more information, see Chapter 71, "Introduction to EIS Projects".
For each EIS project, you must specify one of the following JCA data source platforms that you will be using:
Oracle AQ
Attunity Connect
IBM MQSeries
JMS
Sun Black Box
XML File
This platform configuration is overridden by the session login, if configured.
For more information, see the following:
To specify the data source platform of an EIS project, use this procedure:
Select an EIS project object in the Navigator.
Select the Connection Specifications tab in the Editor. The Connection Specifications tab appears.
Select the Connection tab. The Connection tab appears.
Figure 73-1 Connection Tab, Platform Option
Select the EIS platform for this project from the list of options. For more information, see Section 96.1.3, "Data Source Platform Types".
You can configure connection information at the project level for an EIS application. This information is stored in the project.xml
file. The Oracle TopLink runtime uses this information as its deployment login: whenever your EIS application performs a persistence operation when deployed in a Java EE application server.
This connection configuration is overridden by the connection information at the session level, if configured. For more information about session level configuration, see Section 99.3, "Configuring EIS Connection Specification Options at the Session Level".
To specify the connection information for an EIS project, use this procedure.
Select an EIS project object in the Navigator.
Select the Connection Specifications tab in the Editor. The Connection Specifications tab appears.
Select the Connection tab. The Connection tab appears.
Figure 73-2 Connection Tab, Connection Specification Options
Use this table to enter data in the following fields to configure the connection specification options:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Connection Specification Class | Specify the appropriate connection specification class for the selected Platform. Click Browse to choose from all the classes in the TopLink class path. (example: if Platform is oracle.toplink.eis.aq.AQPlatform , use oracle.toplink.eis.aq.AQEISConnectionSpec ).
For more information on platform configuration, see Section 99.2, "Configuring an EIS Data Source Platform at the Session Level". |
Connection Factory URL | Specify the appropriate connection factory URL (as a Java EE JNDI name) for the selected Connection Specification Class (example: java:comp/env/eis/attuntiy ). |
Username | Specify the name required to log in to the data source. |
Password | Specify the password required to log in to the data source.
Note: When exporting Java source and deployment XML (see Section 116.3, "Exporting Project Information"), TopLink Workbench writes the database password (if applicable) using JCE encryption (when using JDK 1.4). For information on how to specify password encryption options, see Section 97.3, "Configuring Password Encryption". |
