Using The Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor Editor; Displaying The Deployment Descriptor - IBM WebSphere Adapters User Manual

Using the Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor

The Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor provides an easy and
convenient way to configure your resource adapter.
Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor
You configure the resource adapter by using a deployment descriptor. The
deployment descriptor—the ra.xml file— is generated by the wizard and included
in your Java Connector Project.
The editor is made up multiple pages each of which represents a major section of
the ra.xml file. Changes made in the editor are saved directly to the ra.xml file in
your Java Connector Project.
The editor allows you to display and modify all elements of the ra.xml file. You
can also add properties. After each modification this file is validated against its
schema definition to ensure its validity.
Any validation problems with the ra.xml file are displayed in the Problems view
of the development environment.

Displaying the deployment descriptor

Once you complete the New Connector Project wizard your workspace is switched
to the J2EE perspective and your deployment descriptor displays using the
Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor.
Displaying the deployment descriptor in the editor provides you with several
different views.
