Datasource JNDI name

Specifies the datasource description.

The JNDI name of the non-XA enabled datasource from which session management obtains database connections. For example, if the JNDI name of the datasource is "jdbc/sessions", specify "jdbc/sessions." The datasource represents a pool of database connections and a configuration for that pool (such as the pool size). The datasource must already exist as a configured resource in the environment.

Use multi row schema

Specifies that each session data attribute is placed in a separate row in the database, allowing larger amounts of data to be stored for each session. This action can yield better performance when session attributes are very large and few changes are required to the session attributes. If use multi row schema is not enabled, instances of application data can be placed in the same row.
