Chapter 4: Defining Components

Configuring component properties

The Component Properties window configures the settings that EAServer uses to load the component and invoke its methods. Component properties are organized on the following tabs:

Tab

Description

Component properties: General

Defines basic information about the component, including the component type and implementation details such as the Java class name or the C++ library name.

Component properties: Transactions

Defines the components transactional properties, such as how the component participates in transactions and whether the component explicitly commits its work.

Component properties: Instances

Defines how instances of the component are managed, including instance creation, thread binding, and client/component bindings.

Component properties: Environment

For EJB 2.0 or 1.1 components, allows you to specify read-only site specific data for use by the component.

Component properties: EJB Local Refs

For EJB 2.0 components, allows you to configure aliases for EJB components that this component calls using EJB local references.

Component properties: EJB Refs

For EJB 2.0 or 1.1 components, allows you to configure aliases for components called by this component.

Component properties: Resource Refs

For EJB 2.0 or 1.1 components, allows you to configure aliases for resources used by the component such as JavaMail sessions or JDBC connections.

Component properties: Resource Environment Refs

For EJB 2.0 components, configures logical names for objects administered by EAServer.

Component properties: Role Refs

For EJB 2.0 or 1.1 components, allows you to map role names used in method permissions to role names defined in the EAServer repository.

Component properties: Resources

Configures properties that govern the component’s use of server and database resources.

Component properties: Persistence

Specifies the primary key type for EJB entity Beans, and configures properties used to save state information for stateful components that can fail over between servers in a cluster.

Component properties: Run-As Identity

For EJB 2.0 components, specifies the authentication credentials that are used when methods call other components..

Component properties: Run-As Mode

For EJB 1.0 components, specifies the user name and password that are used for intercomponent calls to components installed in the same server or cluster.

Component properties: MDB Type

Applies to Message-Driven Bean (MDB) components only. See “Message-driven beans” for more information.

Component properties: Mirror Cache

Configures properties required to support in-memory failover for stateful components running in a cluster. See “Mirror Cache tab component properties” for more information.

Component properties: Java Classes

Configures the custom class list for Java and EJB components.

Component properties: Additional Files

Configures the file set to be included when the component is exported in Jaguar JAR format or replicated to another installation using the synchronize feature.

Component properties: JAXP Support

For EJB 2.0 components, configures the XML parser implementations used by the component.

Component properties: Advanced

Allows you to manually edit component property settings in the EAServer configuration repository. For advanced users.
