J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA)

A standard architecture for connecting the J2EE platform to heterogeneous EIS systems ERP, mainframe transaction processing, database systems, and legacy applications not written in the Java programming language enables the integration of EISs with application servers and enterprise applications By defining a set of scalable, secure, and transactional mechanisms
PTCL Training & Development 3

J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA)

Enables an EIS vendor to provide a standard resource adapter for its EIS The resource adapter plugs into an application server, providing connectivity between the EIS, the application server, and the enterprise application An EIS vendor needs to provide just one standard resource adapter which has the capability to plug in to any application server that supports the J2EE Connector architecture

J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA)

Multiple resource adapters are pluggable into an application server enables application components deployed on the application server to access the underlying EIS systems

Resource Adapter in A.S

To achieve a standard system-level pluggability between application servers and EISs, the J2EE Connector architecture defines a standard set of system-level contracts between an application server and EIS The resource adapter implements the EIS-side of these system-level contracts

Resource Adapter in A.S

System-level software driver used by an application server or an application client to connect to an EIS By plugging into an application server, the resource adapter collaborates with the server to provide the underlying mechanisms, the transactions, security, and connection pooling mechanisms A resource adapter is used within the address space of the application server

Application Contract
An application server and an EIS collaborate to keep all system-level mechanisms, such as transactions, security, and connection management, transparent from the application components A Connection Management contract A Transaction Management contract Security contract A Message Inflow contract A Lifecycle Management contract A Work Management contract
