Add a database resource entry to the Ebase web application web.xml file

 

The web.xml defines the requirements of the Ebase web application to the application server. It is normally located in one of the following directories depending on your J2EE application server:

 

Jboss/Tomcat           ...ufs/UfsServer/tomcat/webapps/ufs/WEB-INF

WebSphere              ...WebSphere/AppServer/installedApps/UFS.ear/ufs.war/WEB-INF

 

Add a new database resource entry to the bottom of this file as follows:

 

<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_new">

<description>my new db source</description>

<res-ref-name>jdbc/NEWDATASOURCENAME</res-ref-name>

<res-type>javax.sql.XADataSource</res-type>

<res-auth>CONTAINER</res-auth>

</resource-ref>

 

resource-ref id is a name of your choosing and may contain any "quoted" value, but must be unique within resource refs

description may contain any value

res-ref-name must contain jdbc/ followed by any value which must be unique within resource ref names. This name (minus the jdbc/) is used to refer to the database from the Ebase database element (e.g. NEWDATASOURCENAME in the example above)

res-type must contain javax.sql.XADataSource

res-auth must contain CONTAINER

 

The application server should be re-started to implement this change.
