| <h1>Create Data Source Dialog Box</h1> |
| <a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a> |
| <p>This dialog box enables you to create a data source (JDBC resource) which provides applications with a means of connecting to a database. To connect to a database, the JNDI name of the data source is used to locate the associated database. Typically, the administrator creates a data source for each database accessed by the applications deployed in a domain. (However, more than one data source can be created for a database.)</p> |
| <p>To create a data source to use in your application, you need to supply the following:</p> |

| <thead> |
| <tr align="left" valign="top"> |
| <th align="left" valign="bottom" id="r1c1-t38">Element</th> |

| <p>JNDI Name</p> |
| </td> |
| <td align="left" headers="r2c1-t38 r1c2-t38">The JNDI name is the unique name for the data source. The JNDI name of the data source must also be registered on the target server. |
| <p><b>Note</b>: Because the data source is a JDBC resource, the JNDI name is expected in the java:comp/env/jdbc subcontext. For example, for a database name MyDatabase, specify jdbc/MyDatabase as the JNDI name.</p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr align="left" valign="top"> |
| <td align="left" id="r3c1-t38" headers="r1c1-t38"> |
| <p>Database Connection</p> |
| </td> |
| <td align="left" headers="r3c1-t38 r1c2-t38">Choose the database connection to your database from the drop-down menu. The data source refers to a specific database connection. The drop-down menu contains the database connections listed under the Databases node in the Services window. Choose <b>New Database Connection</b> to create a new database connection.</td> |
| </tr> |
| </tbody> |
| </table> |
| <br /> |
| <!-- --> |
| <p>When you create a new data source for your application, the data source description is added to <code dir="ltr">glassfish-resources.xml</code> under the Server Resources node of your project in the Projects window. If you are deploying to the GlassFish server, the data source is registered with the server upon deployment.</p> |
