JDBC
Use the JDBC page to configure resources of the following types:
Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) technology provides connectivity to relational databases. In the GlassFish
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 Interface (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 GlassFish Server includes a copy of the Java DB database and
is preconfigured with the ability to access this database.
