In OpenEJB the rules are quite simple. An declaration like the following in code:
@Resource DataSource customerDataSource;
Matches a data source declared as follows in the openejb.xml file:
<Resource type="DataSource" id="customerDataSource">
....
</Resource>
As seen in this example, the data source can also be declared via properties as follows:
customerDataSource = new://Resource?type=DataSource
This style of properties creation can be used in the InitialContext properties, set into the System properties, or passed in on the command line as vm properties.
The source for this example is in the "injection-of-datasource" directory located in the openejb-examples.zip available on the download page.
Note in the above test code the following lines:
p.put("movieDatabase", "new://Resource?type=DataSource");
p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcDriver", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcUrl", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb");
As mentioned these actually create and configure the data source. When OpenEJB boots up, these properties will get read and executed allowing you to keep all the configuration required to run your tests right in the test case itself. No need to keep dozens of openejb.xml config files in your projects or try and create one big configuration that might end up loading a lot of unneeded containers and resources.
In your production system you can place the properties into the OPENEJB_HOME/conf/system.properties file or add them to your OPENEJB_HOME/conf/openejb.xml with a declaration like so:
<Resource type="DataSource" id="movieDatabase">
JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb
</Resource>
Running the example is fairly simple. In the "injection-of-datasource" directory of the examples zip , just run:
$ mvn clean install
Which should create output like the following.
