Configuring the Transaction Manager Identity

This topic is about how to set up a production environment for your applications.

• Adding JARs to the Geronimo repository — The server keeps common Java libraries in a repository by using the same directory structure and naming conventions prompted by the Apache Maven project. If your Java EE asset depends on a library that is not already in the repository, you can update the repository to include the new library from the administration console or by using the deployer command, and define the dependency in your Java EE asset's deployment plan.
• Configuring datasources — Database pools provide a mechanism for applications to access databases hosted on database managers without having to include the physical implementation details of the database in the application code. The database pools also relieve the application from managing things such as connection pools and timeouts.
  • Configuring a DB2 datasource — This article shows you how to configure a DB2 datasource in Apache Geronimo.
  • Configuring a MySQL datasource — This articles shows you how to configure a mysql datasource in Geronimo.
  • Executing SQL statements at deployment time — The article is about how to execute some cleanup or initialization SQL statements during the deployment time of, for example, a data source.
  • Import database pools from JBoss 4 — This topic introduces how to import the existing JBoss 4 database pools.
  • Import database pools from WebLogic 8.1
  • Removing database pools
  • Using the Geronimo database pool wizard
• Configuring JMS resources — A JMS resource group is a resource adapter module that binds together the related connection factories, queues and topics. To create and access JMS resources such as queues, topics and connection factories in Geronimo, you have to create a JMS resource group.
  • JMS Resources deployment with deploy tool — You can deploy JMS resources with the deploy command (without using the administration console).
  • Using ActiveMQ wizard — This article demonstrates how to configure a JMS resource group and how to uninstall it by using the Geronimo Administration Console
• Configuring multiple repositories — The advantage of having multiple repositories is that they can reside on different server instances.
