| mechanism for containers to provide connectivity to enterprise information |

| |
| <div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop" /> |
| <p>A |
| connector is specific to an EIS and consists of a resource adapter and application |
| development tools. A resource adapter is a system-level software driver that |
| is used by an EJB container or an application client to connect to an EIS. |
| Connectors comply with the J2EE Connector architecture (JCA).</p> |
| <p>Like the |
| other types of projects, connector projects can contain one or more project |
| facets, which represent units of functionality in the project. A new connector |
| project should have the J2C Module facet. Depending on what you want to use |
| the project for, you may want to enable other facets for the project.</p> |
| <div class="restriction"><span class="restrictiontitle">Restriction:</span> J2EE 1.2 specification level does not include connector |
| capability.</div> |
| <p>To create a new connector project, complete the following |
| steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <ol class="id_steps"> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Java™ EE perspective, click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> |
| > <span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Project</span></span>.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the New Project Wizard, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">J2EE</span> |
| > <span class="uicontrol">Connector Project</span></span> and click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Project Name</span> field, type a name for |
| the connector project. </span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To change the default project location, clear |
| the <span class="uicontrol">Use default</span> check box under <span class="uicontrol">Project |
| contents</span> and select a new location with the <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> button.</span> |
| If you specify a non-default project location that is already being |
| used by another project, the project creation will fail.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you type |
| a new EAR project name, the EAR project will be created in the default location |
| with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project |
| being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location |
| for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application |
| Project wizard.</div> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>If you want to add the new project to an |
| enterprise application project, select the <span class="uicontrol">Add project to an EAR</span> check |
| box and select a project in the <span class="uicontrol">EAR Project Name</span> list.</span> |
| If you choose to add the project to an existing EAR project, the <span class="uicontrol">Target |
| runtime</span> field becomes disabled because the target runtime for |
| the new project will be the same as that of the EAR project.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Target runtime</span> field, select the |
| target runtime for the project.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To use a predefined configuration for your |
| project, select a configuration in the <span class="uicontrol">Configuration</span> list. |
| You can click the <span class="uicontrol">Modify</span> button to do the following:</span> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Customize project facets. Select the check boxes next to the facets you |
| want the project to have and select a version number for each facet. Select |
| a facet name to see more information about that facet in the <span class="uicontrol">Details</span> tab. |
| You can also choose a preset combination of facets from the <span class="uicontrol">Configurations</span> list.</li> |
| |
| <li>Limit your project to be compatible with one or more runtimes. Click the <span class="uicontrol">Show |
| Runtimes</span> tab and select the runtimes that you want the project |
| to be compatible with. </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| Click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Source Folder</span> field, enter the name |
| of the folder to use for source code.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>.</span></li> |
