A connector is a specialized connection factory that provides connections for EJBs, Java servlets, JSPs, and CORBA-Java components. Connectors are also called resource adapters.
EAServer 6.0 supports the J2EE Connection Architecture (JCA) 1.5 specification. JCA 1.5 connectors include support for message listeners, which can listen for any message type.
Each connector has one managed connection factory with its own property file. The Java Connection Manager (JCM) classes create the connection factories and manage a pool of connections for a connector.
EAServer connectors support these transaction modes:
Transaction attribute |
Description |
|---|---|
NO_TRANSACTION |
The connector is nontransactional; it does not support local transactions or XA resources. |
LOCAL_TRANSACTION |
The connector implements only the LocalTransaction interface, therefore, EAServer must manage all transactions. |
XA_TRANSACTION |
The connector supports both local transactions and XA transactions. |
For information on importing and exporting connectors, see “Deploying connectors”. To undeploy a connector, see undeploy.
