## To create a custom resource

1. In the left pane of the Admin Console, open the Application Server instance for the JNDI configuration to be modified.

2. Open the JNDI tab and click Custom Resources.

   If any custom resources have been created already, they are listed in the right pane. To create a new custom resource, click New. Open the JNDI tab and click New. A page for adding a new custom resource appears.

3. In the JNDI Name field, enter the name to use to access the resource.

   This name will be registered in the JNDI naming service.

4. In the Resource Type field, enter a fully qualified type definition, as shown in the example above.

   The Resource Type definition follows the format, `xxx.xxx`.

5. In the Factory Class field, enter a factory class name for the custom resource to be created.

   The Factory Class is the user-specified name for the factory class. This class implements the `javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory` interface.

6. In the Description field, enter a description for the resource to be creating.

   This description is a string value and can include a maximum of 250 characters.

7. In the Additional Properties section, add the property name and value.

8. Mark the Custom Resource Enabled checkbox, to enable the custom resource.

9. Click OK to save your custom resource.

   If the custom resource is deployed on a cluster or a stand-alone instance, you can manage targets using the Targets tab. The tab appears after the custom resource has been created. Set the target by entering the target name and clicking OK.
