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)
    {
        "outcome" => "success",

Procedure 22.6. Configure a resource adapter using the Web-based Management Console

1. Login to the Management Console. See Section 3.3.2, “Log in to the Management Console”.
2. Click on the Configuration tab at the top of the screen. Expand the Connectors menu and select Resource Adapters.
   1. In Domain mode, select a Profile from the drop-down at top left.
   Click Add.
3. Enter the archive name and choose transaction type XATransaction from the TX: drop-down box. Then click Save.
4. Select the Properties tab. Click Add.

19. You must reload the server configuration to complete the process. Click on the Runtime tab. Expand the Server menu. Select Overview in the left navigation panel.
    1. Reload the servers
       • 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.
