JDBC
Use the JDBC page to configure resources of the following types:
JavaTM DataBase Connectivity (JDBCTM) technology provides connectivity to relational databases. In the Enterprise
Server, you configure database connectivity by adding JDBC resources (data sources) to the domain.
A data source is a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform) standard
method of configuring connectivity to a database. Each data source contains a pool
of database connections. Applications look up the data source on the Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) API
tree or in the local application context and then retrieve a database connection
with the getConnection method. Data sources and their connection pools provide connection management
processes that help keep your system running.
The Enterprise Server includes a copy of the Java DB database and
is preconfigured with the ability to access this database.
