Customize the Configuration for a Connector

The configuration for each connector is stored in connector.xml in cs_home/jcs/conf/. Each connector also has the following files in cs_home/jcs/conf/override/connector:

• connector.xml—Use this file to override settings. By default this file is identical to the main version of connector.xml.
• SAMPLE.connector.xml—This template file contains common customizations.

Follow these steps:

1. Rename connector.xml so that you can revert to it later if you need to.
2. Copy SAMPLE.connector.xml and rename the copy to connector.xml.
3. Edit the newly renamed file.
4. Restart the connector.

Change Pool Settings

To maximize scalability for a connector by configuring it to match expected usage patterns, you can change pool-related settings.

Connection pooling is configured through the connector.xml file for an individual connector, rather than in the server_jcs.xml global configuration file.

Most connectors use a connection pool configured in connector.xml, for example, through:

• poolConfig for JNDI and most connectors.

  Note: For more information, see the Class GenericObjectPool on http://jakarta.apache.org

• dataSourceConfigProps for JDBC

  Note: For more information, see http://jakarta.apache.org for a complete list and documentation of available configuration parameters.

Follow these steps:

1. Copy cs_home/conf/override/jdbc/SAMPLE.connector.xml and rename the copy to connector.xml.
2. Edit the connector.xml file.
3. Restart the connector.
