Using Custom Resources
A custom resource accesses a local JNDI repository and an external resource accesses an
external JNDI repository. Both types of resources need user-specified factory class elements,
JNDI name attributes, etc. In this section, we will discuss how to configure JNDI connection
factory resources, for J2EE resources, and how to access these resources.
Within the Enterprise Server, you can create, delete, and list resources, as well as
list-jndi-entities
.
Using External JNDI Repositories and Resources
Often applications running on the Enterprise Server require access to resources stored in an
external JNDI repository. For example, generic Java objects could be stored in an LDAP server
as per the Java schema. External JNDI resource elements let users configure such external
resource repositories. The external JNDI factory must implement
javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory
interface.
An example of the use of an external JNDI resource is:
