In the Connector Component > Configuration tab, you configure a new Connector component (.rar file) to be deployed in WebLogic Server. A Connector component (also called a resource adapter) is a system-level software driver used by an application server such as WebLogic Server to connect to an EIS. A resource adapter serves as the "J2EE connector." The WebLogic J2EE Connector Architecture supports resource adapters developed by Enterprise Information Systems (EISes) vendors and third-party application developers that can be deployed in any application server supporting the Sun Microsystems J2EE Platform Specification, Version 1.3. Resource adapters contain the Java, and if necessary, the native components required to interact with the EIS.

Load Order
Specifies the order in which this Connector is loaded at server startup, relative to other Connectors. Connectors with the lowest values are loaded first.
Load Order is only supported for modules deployed with the 2 phase protocol.
The staging mode of this application, which overrides the managed server's StagingMode attribute. Staging involves distributing the application files from the admin server to the targeted managed servers' staging directory. Staging values are:
1. nostage: does not copy application files to another location
2. stage: copies application files to server targeted in deployment
3. external_stage: the user, and not WebLogic Server, copies application files to the server's staging directory
