22.4. Configure a Deployed Resource Adapter

JBoss administrators can configure resource adapters for JBoss EAP 6 using the Management CLI tool, the Web-based Management Console, or by manually editing the configuration the files.
Refer to the vendor document for your resource adapter for information about supported properties and other details.

Note

In the following procedure, the command line you must type follows the [standalone@localhost:9999 /] prompt. Do not type the text within the curly braces. That is the output you should see as a result of the command, for example, {"outcome" => "success"}.

Procedure 22.5. Configure a resource adapter using the Management CLI

  1. Open a command prompt for your operating system.
  2. Connect to the Management CLI.
    • For Linux, enter the following at the command line: 
      $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect
      You should see the following result output: 
      $ Connected to standalone controller at localhost:9999
    • For Windows, enter the following at a command line: 
      C:\>EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect
      You should see the following result output: 
      C:\> Connected to standalone controller at localhost:9999
  3. Add the resource adapter configuration. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar:add(archive=eis.rar, transaction-support=XATransaction) 
{"outcome" => "success"}
  4. Configure the server resource adapter level <config-property>. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/config-properties=server/:add(value=localhost)          
{"outcome" => "success"}
  5. Configure the port resource adapter level <config-property>. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/config-properties=port/:add(value=9000)
{"outcome" => "success"}
  6. Add a connection definition for a managed connection factory. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/connection-definitions=cfName:add(class-name=com.acme.eis.ra.EISManagedConnectionFactory, jndi-name=java:/eis/AcmeConnectionFactory)
{"outcome" => "success"}
  7. Configure the name managed connection factory level <config-property>. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/connection-definitions=cfName/config-properties=name/:add(value=Acme Inc)
{"outcome" => "success"}
  8. Add an admin object. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/admin-objects=aoName:add(class-name=com.acme.eis.ra.EISAdminObjectImpl, jndi-name=java:/eis/AcmeAdminObject)
{"outcome" => "success"}
  9. Configure the threshold admin object property. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar/admin-objects=aoName/config-properties=threshold/:add(value=10)
{"outcome" => "success"}
  10. Activate the resource adapter. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar:activate
{"outcome" => "success"}
  11. View the newly configured and activated resource adapter. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=eis.rar:read-resource(recursive=true)

      • In Domain mode, hover the mouse over a server group. Select Restart Group.
      • In Standalone mode, a Reload button will be available. Click Reload.
  20. A dialog asks Do you want to reload the server configuration? for the specified server. Click Confirm. The server configuration is up to date.

Procedure 22.7. Configure a resource adapter manually

  1. Stop the JBoss EAP 6 server.

    Important

    You must stop the server before editing the server configuration file for your change to be persisted on server restart.
  2. Open the server configuration file for editing.
    • For a standalone server, this is the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file.
    • For a managed domain, this is the EAP_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml file.
  3. Find the urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters subsystem in the configuration file.
  4. If there are no resource adapters defined for this subsystem, first replace: 
    
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.1"/>
    with this: 
                      

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.1">
    <resource-adapters>
        <!-- <resource-adapter> configuration listed below -->
    </resource-adapters>
</subsystem>
  5. Replace the <!-- <resource-adapter> configuration listed below --> with the XML definition for your resource adapter. The following is the XML representation of the resource adapter configuration created using the Management CLI and Web-based Management Console described above. 
    
<resource-adapter id="NAME">
    <archive>
        eis.rar
    </archive>
    <transaction-support>XATransaction</transaction-support>
    <config-property name="server">
        localhost
    </config-property>
    <config-property name="port">
        9000
    </config-property>
    <connection-definitions>
        <connection-definition class-name="com.acme.eis.ra.EISManagedConnectionFactory" 
                jndi-name="java:/eis/AcmeConnectionFactory"
                pool-name="java:/eis/AcmeConnectionFactory">
            <config-property name="name">
                Acme Inc
            </config-property>
        </connection-definition>
    </connection-definitions>
    <admin-objects>
        <admin-object class-name="com.acme.eis.ra.EISAdminObjectImpl" 
                jndi-name="java:/eis/AcmeAdminObject" 
                pool-name="java:/eis/AcmeAdminObject">
            <config-property name="threshold">
                10
            </config-property>
        </admin-object>
    </admin-objects>
</resource-adapter>

  6. Start the server

    Relaunch the JBoss EAP 6 server to start it running with the new configuration.
