Create a Connection Pool

Use this page to create a new JDBC connection pool.

A JDBC Connection pool combines the JDBC Data Source properties (used to specify a connection to a database) with the connection pool properties. An application makes use of a JDBC connection pool via a JDBC Resource using a JNDI lookup on the JDBC Resource. A JDBC Connection pool can be referenced by zero or more JDBC Resources; if two applications use two distinct JDBC Resources which reference a single JDBC Connection Pool - then those applications will share the entries in the connection pool.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the screen. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.

Field or Button
Description

Name

The connection pool name is a unique name that is used as a reference from the JDBC Resource. Note this is not the Data Source's JNDI Name - that is specified in the associated JDBC Resource.

Global Transaction Support

Mark the Enabled checkbox against this field, to enable support for global transactions if the specified JDBC driver supports global transaction management.

Database Vendor

Select a database vendor from the drop-down list.

Next

Click Next to proceed to the rest of the Connection Pool configuration.

Reset

Click Reset if you want to reset the fields to blank again.
