[[Resource_adapters]]
= Resource adapters

Resource adapters are configured through the _resource-adapters_
subsystem. Declaring a new resource adapter consists of two separate
steps: You would need to deploy the .rar archive and define a resource
adapter entry in the subsystem.

== Resource Adapter Definitions

The resource adapter itself is defined within the subsystem
_resource-adapters_:

[[automatic-activation-of-resource-adapter-archives]]
== Automatic activation of resource adapter archives

A resource adapter archive can be automatically activated with a
configuration by including an META-INF/ironjacamar.xml in the archive.
