About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a new custom property for a J2C resource adapters.

Procedure

  1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the newra variable.
    • Using Jacl:

      set newra [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/J2CResourceAdapter:RAR1/]
    • Using Jython:

      newra = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/J2CResourceAdapter:RAR1/')
      print newra
    Example output:
    RAR1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2CResourceAdapter_1)
  2. Get the J2EE resource property set:
    • Using Jacl:

      set propSet [$AdminConfig showAttribute $newra propertySet]
    • Using Jython:

      propSet = AdminConfig.showAttribute(newra, 'propertySet')
      print propSet
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#PropertySet_8)
  3. Identify the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig required J2EEResourceProperty
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.required('J2EEResourceProperty')
    Example output:
    Attribute     Type
    name         String
  4. Set up the required attributes:
    • Using Jacl:

      set name [list name RP4]
      set rpAttrs [list $name]
    • Using Jython:

      name = ['name', 'RP4']
      rpAttrs = [name]
  5. Create a J2EE resource property:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $propSet $rpAttrs
    • Using Jython:

      print AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', propSet, rpAttrs)
    Example output:
    RP4(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.xml#J2EEResourceProperty_8)
  6. Save the configuration changes.
