# Deploy resource adapters

Before you begin

Review the supported resource adapters in Resource Adapters.

A messaging bridge uses resource adapters to communicate with the configured source and target JMS destinations. You need to associate both the source and target JMS destinations with a supported resource adapter in order for the bridge to communicate with them. The JNDI name for the adapter is configured as part of the resource adapter's deployment descriptor.

To deploy a resource adapter:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the console, click Deployments.
3. On the Summary of Deployments page, click Install.
4. Use the Install Application Assistant to locate, install, and deploy the resource adapter.

   BEA resource adapters are located at WL_HOME\server\lib.

5. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
