Adding an unlisted Resource Adapter

You may add a Resource Adapter into your project that is not listed in the Resource Adapters page

Before your application can create a connection to the EIS via a resource adapter, you need to add the RAR to the x:\Resource Adapter directory (where x is the directory in which your Rational® application development software is installed). After adding the RAR file, open a new instance of the application using the -clean switch (x:> rationalsdp.exe -clean) and open a new workspace.
After you select your Resource Adapter in the Resource Adapter Selection page, you need to provide connection information. Connection parameters include:
  1. For Managed Connection In the Connection Properties page, provide the JNDI name of the connection factory. You need to specify this entry if you intend to use JNDI to make your connection.
  2. For Non-Managed Connection In the Connection Properties page, enter all the required connection information. Required fields are indicated by an asterisk (*).
    1. Connection class name (Required): Specify the connection class name for this connection. Since more than one connection class can be created for a single resource adapter, and each connection class has different connection properties, you need to select the relevant Connection Class name for the connection you want to use.
If your resource adapter requires other fields to be provided (server name, username and password, for example), you need to supply this information.
Now that you have specified the connection properties, you can specify a project for the J2C Java™ bean.
