Java EE Data Source: Overview

Configuration Options     

A data source has a set of properties that identify and describe the real-world data source that it represents. These properties include information such as the location of the database server, the name of the database, and the network protocol to use to communicate with the server. In addition, a data source object works with a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) naming service. After a data source object is registered with a JNDI naming service, an application can use the JNDI API to access that data source object, which can then be used to connect to the data source it represents.

This page displays the general configuration of a deployed data source, such as the name that appears in Deployments table, the name of the WAR or EJB JAR file in which it is packaged, and the scope of the data source.
