JCA is not only directed to DB-stuff. See chap 7 in the examples in the pay for doc for 3.2 for instance. (an example of an filesystem access adapter.)
Vanilla EJB is restricted in many way, for instance you are not allowed to access disk, create threads etc. A way to get around these restrictions and still go with the spec, is to write a JCA. Your JCA does not have to support features that you do not need (DB-like behaviour, transactions, CCI and so on) Though the possibillity to support EJB transactions, CCI makes them even more useful. I have written a few adapters which only uses the connectionpool properties, since that was what I needed at the time. If you need more info: I have looked at an article written by Willy Farrel called "Introduction to the J2EE Connector Architecture" It is geared to Websphere, but combined with the example, it will propably clear things out. As I remeber, also the Sun J2EE tutorial is OK. There is also a book "J2EE Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration" by Rahul Sharma, Beth Stearns, Tony Ng which points out the details. / JÃrgen View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3855832#3855832 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3855832 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
