<title>The GlobalNamingResources Component
</properties>
<body>
<section name="Introduction">
<p>The GlobalNamingResources element defines the global
JNDI resources for the <a href="server.html">Server.
<p>These resources are listed in the server's global JNDI resource context.
This context is distinct from the per-web-application JNDI contexts
described in
the <a href="../jndi-resources-howto.html">JNDI Resources HOW-TO.
The resources defined in this element are <strong>not visible in
the per-web-application contexts unless you explicitly link them with
<a href="context.html#Resource Links"><ResourceLink> elements.
</p>
</section>
<section name="Attributes">
</section>
<section name="Nested Components">
</section>
<section name="Special Features">
<subsection name="Environment Entries">
<p>You can configure named values that will be made visible to all
web applications as environment entry resources by nesting
<code><Environment> entries inside this element. For
example, you can create an environment entry like this:</p>
<source>
<GlobalNamingResources ...>
...
<Environment name="maxExemptions" value="10"
type="java.lang.Integer" override="false"/>
...
</GlobalNamingResources>
</source>
<p>This is equivalent to the inclusion of the following element in the
web application deployment descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml):
</p>
<source>
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>maxExemptions</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>10</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.Integer</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
</source>
<p>but does not require modification of the deployment descriptor
to customize this value.</p>
<p>The valid attributes for an <Environment> element
are as follows:</p>
<attributes>
<attribute name="description" required="false">
<p>Optional, human-readable description of this environment entry.
</attribute>
<attribute name="name" required="true">
<p>The name of the environment entry to be created, relative to the
<code>java:comp/env context.
</attribute>
<attribute name="override" required="false">
<p>Set this to false if you do not want
an <code><env-entry> for the same environment entry name,
found in the web application deployment descriptor, to override the
value specified here. By default, overrides are allowed.</p>
</attribute>
<attribute name="type" required="true">
<p>The fully qualified Java class name expected by the web application
for this environment entry. Must be one of the legal values for
<code><env-entry-type> in the web application deployment
descriptor: <code>java.lang.Boolean,
<code>java.lang.Byte, java.lang.Character,
<code>java.lang.Double, java.lang.Float,
<code>java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Long,
<code>java.lang.Short, or java.lang.String.
</attribute>
<attribute name="value" required="true">
<p>The parameter value that will be presented to the application
when requested from the JNDI context. This value must be convertable
to the Java type defined by the <code>type attribute.
</attribute>
</attributes>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Resource Definitions">
<p>You can declare the characteristics of resources
to be returned for JNDI lookups of <code><resource-ref> and
<code><resource-env-ref> elements in the web application
deployment descriptor by defining them in this element and then linking
them with <a href="context.html#Resource Links"><ResourceLink>
elements
in the <code><Context> element.
You <strong>MUST also define any other needed parameters using
attributes on the Resource element, to configure
the object factory to be used (if not known to Tomcat already), and
the properties used to configure that object factory.</p>
<p>For example, you can create a resource definition like this:
<source>
<GlobalNamingResources ...>
...
<Resource name="jdbc/EmployeeDB" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
description="Employees Database for HR Applications"/>
...
</GlobalNamingResources>
</source>
<p>This is equivalent to the inclusion of the following element in the
web application deployment descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml):
<source>
<resource-ref>
<description>Employees Database for HR Applications</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/EmployeeDB</res-ref-name>
<res-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-ref-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
</source>
<p>but does not require modification of the deployment
descriptor to customize this value.</p>
<p>The valid attriutes for a <Resource> element
are as follows:</p>
<attributes>
<attribute name="auth" required="false">
<p>Specify whether the web Application code signs on to the
corresponding resource manager programatically, or whether the
Container will sign on to the resource manager on behalf of the
application. The value of this attribute must be
<code>Application or Container. This
attribute is <strong>required if the web application
will use a <code><resource-ref> element in the web
application deployment descriptor, but is optional if the
application uses a <code><resource-env-ref> instead.
</attribute>
<attribute name="description" required="false">
<p>Optional, human-readable description of this resource.
</attribute>
<attribute name="name" required="true">
<p>The name of the resource to be created, relative to the
<code>java:comp/env context.
</attribute>
<attribute name="scope" required="false">
<p>Specify whether connections obtained through this resource
manager can be shared. The value of this attribute must be
<code>Shareable or Unshareable. By default,
connections are assumed to be shareable.</p>
</attribute>
<attribute name="type" required="true">
<p>The fully qualified Java class name expected by the web
application when it performs a lookup for this resource.</p>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Resource Links">
<p>Use <ResourceLink>
elements to link resources from the global context into
per-web-application contexts. Here is an example of making a custom
factory available to all applications in the server, based on the example
definition in the
<a href="../jndi-resources-howto.html#Generic JavaBean Resources">
JNDI Resource HOW-TO</a>:
</p>
<source>
<![CDATA[
<DefaultContext>
<ResourceLink
name="bean/MyBeanFactory"
global="bean/MyBeanFactory"
type="com.mycompany.MyBean"
/>
</DefaultContext>
]]>
</source>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Transaction">
<p>You can declare the characteristics of the UserTransaction
to be returned for JNDI lookup for <code>java:comp/UserTransaction.
You <strong>MUST define an object factory class to instantiate
this object as well as the needed resource parameters as attributes of the
<code>Transaction
element, and the properties used to configure that object factory.</p>
<p>The valid attributes for the <Transaction> element
are as follows:</p>
<attributes>
<attribute name="factory" required="true">
<p>The class name for the JNDI object factory.
</attribute>
</attributes>
