Using a resource reference in an assembly diagram

In the module deployment editor, you can add a resource reference that enables a Java component in the assembly diagram to access the resource. For example, you can add a JDBC data source reference that enables a Java component in the assembly diagram to access data in a relational database.

1. In the Business Integration view, select the module that contains your web service import.
2. Right-click the selected module and select Open Deployment Editor. The module deployment editor opens.
3. Click the Design tab.
4. Create a resource reference by completing the following steps:
   1. Select the Resource References node.
   2. Click Add and select Resource Reference. A Resource Reference Wrapper and a Resource Reference node is added under the Resource References node.
   3. Select the Resource Reference node.
   4. In the Name field, type the name that you want to assign to the resource reference. For example, jdbc/DataSourceRefOnModule.
   5. In the Authentication field, select the type of authentication that you want to use. For example, Container.
   6. In the Sharing scope field, select the sharing scope that you want to use. For example, Shareable.
   7. In the Description field, type a description for the data source reference.
5. Set a WebSphere-specific binding on the resource reference by completing the following steps:
   1. Select the Resource Reference Wrapper node.
   2. Click Add and select WebSphere Binding. The Resource Reference WebSphere Binding window opens.
   3. In the JNDI name field, type a JNDI name. For example, jdbc/li536pip.
   4. Set the JAAS Configuration as needed. Note that JAAS Configuration can only be set for specific types of resource references that have authentication fields that have been set to Container.
   5. Click OK to close the window box. A WebSphere Binding node is added under Resource Reference Wrapper.
   6. Add properties under the WebSphere Binding node as needed.
6. Set a WebSphere-specific extension on the resource reference by completing the following steps:
   1. Select the Resource Reference Wrapper node.
   2. Click Add and select WebSphere Extension. The WebSphere Extension node is added under Resource Reference Wrapper.
   3. In the Isolation level field, select an isolation level.
   4. In the Connection policy field, select a connection policy.
7. Press Ctrl-S to save your changes and then close the module deployment editor.
8. If your server is already running in the Servers view, click the Build Activities tab to open the Build Activities view and then click Update Running Servers.
