Well, to answer my own question, I see that I can set a CustomResourceSpecifier
by editing my descriptor xml directly (thanks to a post by Adam Lally in 2008;
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01437.html )
I have this now:
<externalResource>
<name>theResource</name>
<description>my resource</description>
<customResourceSpecifier>
<resourceClassName>com.my.resourcemanagers.MyDataResource</resourceClassName>
<parameters>
<parameter name="param1" value="paramval1"/>
<parameter name="param2" value="paramval2"/>
</parameters>
</customResourceSpecifier>
</externalResource>
I then implemented as
public class MyDataResource extends Resource_ImplBase implements
ParameterizedDataResource, DataResource, SharedResourceObject
This actually works and does what I want. But I suspect I'm not really using
the framework correctly. Does anyone knows the canonical way to use these
various Resource classes?
