Hi All,
I have been updating some documentation stuff for the Apache Geronimo
version 1.1 from the last month. The given table gives some of the JDBC
features for Geronimo version 1.0. Is this content is still valid for
the Geronimo v1.1 too?
| Feature |
Description |
| JDBC access |
Geronimo does not have
any direct integration
with JDBC but supports access through the generic J2CA framework. The
TranQL project has J2CA adapters for various databases. |
| JCA implementation |
Geronimo supports the
JCA 1.5 specification and is backward compatible to the JCA 1.0
specification. |
| Data sources supported |
TranQL has generic
wrappers for data source, ConnectionPoolDatasource, and XADataSource. |
| Data source failover |
TranQL has specialized
drivers for certain
databases (including Apache Derby, Oracle and soon DB2) that provide a
tighter integration with the advanced features of the driver.
It is at this level that features such as load-balancing and failover
would be provided. You can also use a C-JDBC wrapper for providing
database clustering and failover. |
| XA support |
Supports XA
transactions, Local Transactions, and No transaction. |
| Connection Manager
Configurability |
The J2CA framework is
interceptor based which allows different parts of the connection
framework to be plugged in. |
| JTA implementation |
Transaction support is
provided through JOTM and HOWL. |
| Connection pooling and
management |
Custom Geronimo Code and
TranQL used for connection pooling and management. |
| Legacy driver support |
Geronimo provides this
through the TranQL- connector JDBC to JCA wrapper in Geronimo. Supports
JDBC 3.0 and 2.1. |
