Elements

authenticationType = CONTAINER

The authentication type to use for this resource.

description = ""

Description of this resource.

mappedName = ""

A product specific name that this resource should be mapped to.

A product specific name that this resource should be mapped to. The name of this resource, as defined by the name element or defaulted, is a name that is local to the application component using the resource. (It's a name in the JNDI java:comp/env namespace.) Many application servers provide a way to map these local names to names of resources known to the application server. This mapped name is often a global JNDI name, but may be a name of any form.

Application servers are not required to support any particular form or type of mapped name, nor the ability to use mapped names. The mapped name is product-dependent and often installation-dependent. No use of a mapped name is portable.

name = ""

The JNDI name of the resource.

shareable = true

Indicates whether this resource can be shared between this component and other components.

type = java.lang.Object.class

The Java type of the resource.
