  1. Login to the Management Console. Section 3.4.2, “Log in to the Management Console”
  2. Click on Profile in the top right, expand the Container item in the Profile panel on the left and select EJB 3. Then select the Container tab from the main panel.

  5. Click the Save button to keep the changes, or click the Cancel link to discard them.
  6. The Details area will now be non-editable and display the correct resource adapter name.

Procedure 19.18. Set the Default Resource Adapter for Message-Driven Beans using the CLI

  1. Launch the CLI tool and connect to your server. Refer to Section 3.5.4, “Connect to a Managed Server Instance Using the Management CLI”.
  2. Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. 
    /subsystem=ejb3:write-attribute(name="default-resource-adapter-name", value="RESOURCE-ADAPTER")
    Replace RESOURCE-ADAPTER with name of the resource adapter to be used.
  3. Use the read-resource operation to confirm the changes. 
    /subsystem=ejb3:read-resource

Example 19.14. Set the Default Resource Adapter for Message-Driven Beans using the CLI

[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=ejb3] /subsystem=ejb3:write-attribute(name="default-resource-adapter-name", value="EDIS-RA")
{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=ejb3]
