JNDI Name: Specify 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 JDBC resource. By convention, the name begins with the jdbc/ string. For example: jdbc/payrolldb. Don’t forget the forward slash.
Resource Type: Enter a fully qualified type definition. The definition follows the format, xxx.xxx.
JNDI Lookup: Enter 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.
Factory Class: Enter a JNDI factory class external repository, for example, com.sun.jndi.ldap. This class implements the javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory interface.
Description: Type a short description of the resource. This description is a string value and can include a maximum of 250 characters.
Status: If you want the resource to be unavailable, deselect the Enabled checkbox. By default, the resource is available (enabled) as soon as it is created.
