copy matching properties from metadata connection to runtime connection. For
more information, see the
WBIOutboundConnectionTypeImpl
in the Javadocs.
The following information must be provided for this class by a discovery service
implementation:
v
ID (for example, PeopleSoft)
v Display name (for example, PeopleSoft)
v
Description (for example, PeopleSoft Component Interface)
v ResourceAdapterBean class (for example,
″
com.ibm.j2ca.peoplesoft.PeopleSoftResourceAdapter
″
)
v ManagedConnectionFactory
bean class (for example,
″
com.ibm.j2ca.peoplesoft.PeopleSoftManagedConnectionFactory
″
)
v OutboundConnectionConfiguration
- Represents properties needed to connect to
the EIS for discovery and to create service descriptions. For connection types
that are used only at runtime this represents managed connection factor and
resource adapter properties.
v isSupportedForMetadataDiscovery
- is set to true if the
connectionType
can be
used for metadata discovery. Only valid, specified connection types are
displayed for
connectionType selection.
InboundConnectionType
InboundConnectionType is used to create Inbound service description. An adapter
can support multiple Inbound connection types, the mapping of inbound
connection is to Activation Specs, as many activation specs an adapter supports
than many inbound connection types would have to be supported.
The following information has to be provided by discovery service implementation
for this component.
v
ID (for example, PeopleSoft)
v
Display name (for example, PeopleSoft)
v Description (for example, PeopleSoft Component Interface)
v ResourceAdapterBean
class (for example,
″
com.ibm.j2ca.peoplesoft.PeopleSoftResourceAdapter
″
)
v ActivationSpecBean
class e.g.
″
com.ibm.j2ca.peoplesoft.PeopleSoftActivationSpec
″
v InboundConnectionConfiguration
- Represents resource adapter and Activation
Specification bean properties.
Discovering System Capabilities
After selecting the ConnectionType, enter the properties for connection
configuration. This typically includes those properties needed to connect to the EIS
or EIS repository and also properties required to define the artifacts that will be
generated by enterprise metadata discovery. Once you enter the properties the tool
requests, the enterprise metadata discovery service attempts to establish a
connection to the EIS repository. The service extracts values for configuration
properties and opens a connection to the EIS repository. This is represented by
MetadataConnection object.
