Annotation Type DataSourceDefinition


@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface DataSourceDefinition

Annotation used to define a container DataSource and be registered with JNDI. The DataSource may be configured by setting the annotation elements for commonly used DataSource properties. Additional standard and vendor-specific properties may be specified using the properties element.

The data source will be registered under the name specified in the name element. It may be defined to be in any valid Java EE namespace, and will determine the accessibility of the data source from other components.

A JDBC driver implementation class of the appropriate type, either DataSource, ConnectionPoolDataSource, or XADataSource, must be indicated by the className element. The availability of the driver class will be assumed at runtime.

The url property should not be specified in conjunction with other standard properties for defining the connectivity to the database. If the url property is specified along with other standard DataSource properties such as serverName and portNumber, the more specific properties will take precedence and url will be ignored.

Vendors are not required to support properties that do not normally apply to a specific data source type. For example, specifying the transactional property to be true but supplying a value for className that implements a data source class other than XADataSource may not be supported.

Vendor-specific properties may be combined with or used to override standard data source properties defined using this annotation.

DataSource properties that are specified and are not supported in a given configuration or cannot be mapped to a vendor specific configuration property may be ignored.

Examples:

   @DataSourceDefinition(name="java:global/MyApp/MyDataSource",
      className="com.foobar.MyDataSource",
      portNumber=6689,
      serverName="myserver.com",
      user="lance",
      password="secret"
   )
 
 

Using a URL:

  @DataSourceDefinition(name="java:global/MyApp/MyDataSource",
    className="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource",
    url="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/myDB",
    user="lance",
    password="secret"
 )
 

An example lookup of the DataSource from an EJB:

 @Stateless
 public class MyStatelessEJB {
   @Resource(lookup="java:global/MyApp/myDataSource")
    DataSource myDB;
      ...
 }
