To Create an External JNDI Resource
An external JNDI resource accesses an external JNDI repository, such as an LDAP
server.
- In the navigation tree, expand the Resources node .
- Under the Resources node, expand the JNDI node.
- Under the JNDI node, select External Resources.
The External Resources page opens.
- On the External Resources page, click New.
The New External Resource page opens.
- In the JNDI Name field, type a unique name.
This name will be registered in the JNDI naming service. The JNDI name
organizes and locates components within a distributed computing environment similarly to the way that
card catalogs organize and represent locations of books in a library. Consequently, the
JNDI name becomes an important method of accessing the resource.
- In the Resource Type field, do one of the following.
- From the drop-down list, select a type definition.
- Select the second radio button and type a fully qualified type definition that
follows the format xxx.xxx.
- In the Factory Class field, type a JNDI factory class external repository for
the external resource to be created.
The Factory Class is the user-specified name for the factory class, such as
com.sun.jndi.ldap. This class implements the javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory interface.
- In the JNDI Lookup field, type the JNDI value to look up
in the external repository.
For example, when creating an external resource to connect to an external repository,
to test a bean class, the JNDI Lookup can look like this: cn=testmybean.
- In the Description field, Type a short description of the resource.
This description is a string value and can include a maximum of
250 characters.
- Select the Status Enabled checkbox to enable the resource.
By default, the resource is enabled, meaning that it is available as soon
as it is created.
- (Optional) In the Additional Properties section, specify additional properties for the external resource.
The GlassFish Server does not define any additional properties for external resources.
To add a property, click the Add Property button. In the blank
row that appears, type the property name in the Name field, and type
the property value in the Value field.
- Click OK.
