Creating the Prototype Resource (Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide)

Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide

The following table describes the methods used to create a Resource instance.

Table 9–14 Methods Used to Create a Resource Instance


Method	Description
`staticCreatePrototypeResource`	Creates a Resource instance, usually from the predefined `prototypeXML` string defined in the resource adapter. Because it is a static method, it can be called knowing only the path to the Java class which is the resource adapter.
`createPrototypeResource`	A local method that can be executed only if you already have an instance of a Java object of the resource adapter class. Typically, the implementation of `createPrototypeResource()` is to just call the `staticCreatePrototypeResource()` method. If extending an existing adapter, you can add resource attributes to specify different default values programmatically based on the super class’s prototype resource.
