Websphere 6.1 to 7 how to upgrade ibm-web-bnd.xmi to ibm-web-bnd.xml

Question

In websphere 6 ibm-web-bnd.xmi I have

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <webappbnd:WebAppBinding xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:webappbnd="webappbnd.xmi" xmi:id="WebAppBinding_1294064796872" virtualHostName="default_host"> <webapp href="WEB-INF/web.xml#WebApp_ID"/> <resRefBindings xmi:id="ResourceRefBinding_1294083767913" jndiName="jdbc/ABC_DEFG"> <bindingResourceRef href="WEB-INF/web.xml#ResourceRef_1294083767913"/> </resRefBindings> </webappbnd:WebAppBinding> 

I would like to upgrade to Websphere 7 and use the ibm-web-bnd.XML file by default, but I'm not sure how to update it ... can someone give some ideas. THANKS

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-bnd xmlns="http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee/ibm-web-bnd_1_0.xsd" version="1.0"> <virtual-host name="default_host" /> <!--WHAT TO PUT HERE FOR jdbc/ABC_DEFG --> </web-bnd>

You need to find the corresponding ResourceRef_1294083767913 line in web.xml. It should be in this format:

 <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/myResRef</res-ref-name> ... </resource-ref> 

In this case, you add this element to ibm-web-bnd.xml:

 <resource-ref name="jdbc/myResRef" binding-name="jdbc/ABC_DEFG"/> 

The InfoCenter topic, Overview of EJB 3.0 Application Bindings, actually explains the XML binding format for ibm-ejb-jar.xml, ibm-web-bnd.xml and ibm-application-client-bnd.xml.
