1.x entity bean data sources

Use this page to set the default data source mapping for EJB modules that contain 1.x container-managed persistence (CMP) beans. Unless you configure individual data sources for your 1.x CMP beans, this default mapping applies to all beans within the module.

To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_name > 1.x entity bean data sources.

Guidelines for using this administrative console page:

• The page displays a table that depicts the EJB modules in your application that contain 1.x CMP beans.

• Each table row corresponds to a module. A row shows the JNDI name of the data source mapping target of the EJB module only if you bound them together during application assembly. For every data source that is displayed, you see the corresponding security configuration.

• To set your default data source mappings:

  1. Select a row. Be aware that if you check multiple rows on this page, the data source mapping target that you select in step 2 applies to all of those EJB modules.

  2. Click Browse to select a data source from the new page that is displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources page shows all data sources that are available mapping targets for your EJB modules.

  3. Click Apply. The console displays the 1.x entity bean data sources page again. In the rows that you previously selected, you now see the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.

  4. Before you click OK to save your new configuration, set the security parameters for the data source. Use the following steps.

• To specify security settings for the default data source:

  1. Select a row. Be aware that if you check multiple rows on this page, the security settings that you select later apply to all of those data sources.

  2. Type in a user name and password that comprise the authentication alias for signing on to the data source. If these entries are not listed in the application J2EE Connector (J2C) authentication data list, input them into the list after saving your settings on this page. Read the Managing J2EE Connector Architecture authentication data entries information center topic for instruction.

  3. Click Apply that immediately follows the user name and password input fields.

• Repeat all of the previous steps as necessary.

• Click OK to save your work.
