Using DataDirect Connect for JDBC™ Resource Adapters

View PDF

J2EE Connector Architecture resource adapters are used by application servers to connect to Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), such as mainframe transaction processing systems, database systems, or legacy applications not written in the Java® programming language. The resource adapter communicates with the server to provide the underlying transaction, security, and connection pooling mechanisms. DataDirect Connect for JDBC provides resource adapters as an installable option.

This document takes you step-by-step through an example that shows you how to install and set up the DataDirect Connect for JDBC Resource Adapters with a J2EE application server, configure a Connection Factory, and use that Connection Factory from within an Enterprise Java Bean (EJB). Use the example in this document to set up and configure your own environment using DataDirect Connect for JDBC Resource Adapters.

NOTE: This document uses the IBM WebSphere 4.0 Advanced Edition (with FixPack 5) application server in its examples to describe the deployment and configuration of the DataDirect Connect for JDBC Oracle Resource Adapter and the Connection Factory. If you choose to use another type of application server, expect the deployment and configuration steps to be different, but similar.
