About This Document

Intended Audience

This guide is intended for resource adaptor developers or application developers who want to use resource adaptors to link an Enterprise Information System(EIS) with JEUS.

Required Knowledge

In order to fully understand this guide, users need to have:

Understanding of connector architecture and resource adaptor

Understanding of JEUS

( Refer to "JEUS Introduction" or "JEUS Installation and Getting Started" )
Understanding of Java

J2EE Connector Architecture Specification - version 1.6

Document Scope

This guide does not contain descriptions of JCA standards. Refer to related documents for more information about how to use and manage JCA.

Note

Brief information about the JCA standards is introduced here, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html. For the details, refer to JCA 1.6 standards or related documents.

Document Organization

This guide describes features of the J2EE Connector Architecture standard (hereafter JCA standard) implementation entities of JEUS, and explains how to package resource adaptors for JEUS.

The guide consists of four chapters and one appendix.

"Chapter 1. JCA Standards"

Describes the JCA standards and resource adaptors.
"Chapter 2. Outbound Management"

Describes roles and functions of JEUS in an outbound communication from an application to EIS, based on interoperation with a connection pool and transaction.
"Chapter 3. Inbound Management"

Describes the roles and functions of JEUS in an inbound communication from an EIS to an application.
"Chapter 4. Resource Adapter"

Describes JEUS's security management function, and explains how to add the jeus-connector-dd.xml file to a resource adapter, and what you need to know for deployment.
"Appendix A. Note for jeus-connector-dd.xml Configuration"

Describes the precautions for configuring the jeus-connector-dd.xml file.

System Requirements

This guide follows the UNIX style for all examples and screen configurations.

Users of other environments, such as Windows, can use this with a few considerations. For example, use the Windows style "\" as the directory delimiter instead of the UNIX style "/". Environment variables should also be changed to Windows style variables.

This guide primarily discusses Java, so most of the content should apply to all systems.
