Figure 19-12 Create JDBC driver

As shown in Figure 19-13 on page 607, you will get a Create a JDBC Driver

window. Let the name of driver be session and select the JDBC driver class

name, usually the class name for DB2 is com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver.

Now that you have created the driver for the database, you will then need to

create the data source. Right click on DataSources and click on Create.

Figure 19-14 Create DataSources

For example, for this scenario enter the Data Source Name as session and

Database name as sessdb.

Next, you will need to enable persistence sessions. As shown in Figure 19-16 on

page 609 using the WAS Administration Console:

򐂰 Go back to Topology View.

򐂰 Expand the model and the HPServletEngine.

򐂰 Click on the Session Manager and select Enable tab in the panel.

򐂰 In Enable Persistent Sessions, select Yes and click on Apply.

The final step is to change the JDBC Data Source to the one you have just

created. As illustrated in Figure 19-17 on page 610 click on the persistence tab,

click on the change button and select the datasource that was previously created

and enter the proper values for this scenario.
