Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Administration Reference

Properties

Most JDBC 3.0 drivers allow use of standard property lists to specify the user, password, and other resource configuration information. Although properties are optional with respect to the Application Server, some properties might be necessary for most databases. For details, see the JDBC 3.0 Standard Extension API.

When properties are specified, they are passed to the vendor’s data source class (specified by the datasource-classname attribute) as is using setName(value) methods.

The user and password properties are used as the default principal if container managed authentication is specified and a default-resource-principal is not found in the application deployment descriptors.

The following table describes some common properties for the jdbc-connection-pool element.
