Configuring an administered object for a third-party JCA resource adapter

You can configure an administered object for a Java™ Connector Architecture (JCA), also called J2EE Connector (J2C), resource adapter that is not included as part of the WebSphere® Application Server.

1. Start the administrative console.
2. Display the resource adapter.
   In the navigation pane, click Resources > Resource Adapters > adapter_name.
   This displays in the content pane a table of properties for the resource adapter, including links to the types of JCA resource that it provides.
3. Optional: Change the Scope setting to the scope level at which the administered object is to be visible to applications, according to your needs.
4. In the content pane, under the Additional Properties heading, click J2C Administered Objects.
   This lists any existing administered objects for the resource adapter.
5. Display the properties of the administered object.

   If you want to display an existing administered object, click one of the names listed.

   Alternatively, if you want to create a new administered object, click New, then specify the following required properties:

   Name

   Type the name by which the administered object is known for administrative purposes. The JNDI name is automatically generated based on the value for the Name property.

   Administered object class

   Select the administered object class that this instance should support. This list is based on the deployment descriptor of the resource adapter.

   Depending on the resource adapter, there can be additional required properties that you must supply. To provide values for these properties, click Custom properties. When creating a new administered object, you might have to click Apply before this custom property selection is available.

6. Specify properties for the administered object, according to your needs.
7. Click OK.
8. Save your changes to the master configuration.
