When communications are performed via UPIC, you simply need to define the connection-specific properties in the file weblogic-ra.xml. In this case, the file ra.xml is not relevant.
Connection factories
Outbound communication is performed via so-called connection factories.
You must configure at least one connection factory for each EIS partner. However, you may also configure multiple connection factories with different properties for one and the same EIS partner.
You make the following specifications for each connection factory:
JNDI name: This name is also required when deploying the EJB and makes it possible to address the connection factory in the EJB.
Configuration properties: These are the parameters that apply to the connection to the EIS partners.
Connection pooling: Connection pooling is an application server functionality. It helps improve performance on frequently used connections.
Security settings: This is the data required when signing on at the EIS partner, e.g. user ID and password. If this data is encoded directly in the EJB then the corresponding entry can be omitted in the deployment descriptor.
