Configuring EIS Connection Specification Options at the Project Level

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 J2EE 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 "Configuring EIS Connection Specification Options at the Session Level".

Using TopLink Workbench

To specify the connection information for an EIS project, use this procedure.

1. Select an EIS project object in the Navigator.

2. Select the Connection Specifications tab in the Editor. The Connection Specifications tab appears.

3. Select the Connection tab. The Connection tab appears.

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 "Configuring an EIS Data Source Platform at the Session Level".
Connection Factory URL	Specify the appropriate connection factory URL (as a J2EE 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 "Exporting Project Information"), TopLink Workbench writes the database password (if applicable) using JCE encryption (when using JDK 1.4). Refer to Oracle TopLink Getting Started Guide for information on using password encryption with JDK 1.3 and earlier. For information on how to specify password encryption options, see "Configuring Password Encryption".
