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.


In the Additional Properties section, specify additional properties for the external resource.
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.
