New JDBC Connection Pool: Choose Database Connection
See Also
You see this page of the New File wizard when you are defining a connection pool.
On this page you name the connection pool and specify the database connection to use.
To create a new connection pool:
- Provide a name for the JDBC connection pool. This name will be used when defining a JDBC resource.
- Select one of the following database connection options:
- Extract from existing connection. Choose this option if the database connection for the database you want to use already exists.
The combobox lists connections that have already been created.
When you select this option, the configuration information, including the complete URL, user name, and password, is extracted
from the selected connection. To add a new connection to the list, see
Connecting to a Database.
- New configuration using database. If there
is no suitable existing connection, you can select a driver from the list of databases with known JDBC drivers.
Select Other if you would like to use a datasource that is not listed and you know the datasource classname for the database driver.
To add to the list of drivers, see Adding a New Driver.
- If you select this option you will need to provide the connection information in the next page.
- XA (Global Transaction). Select the XA (Global Transaction) radio button if using XA transactions.
- Click Next to Add Connection Pool Properties.
