Java Connectivity- JCA (J2EE Connector Architecture)

The J2EE Connector Architecture(JCA) defines a standard architecture for connecting the J2EE platform to heterogeneous Enterprise Information Systems. EIS systems include ERP, mainframe transaction processing, database systems, and legacy applications. By defining a set of scalable and secure transactional mechanisms, the J2EE Connector architecture enables the integration of EISs with application servers and enterprise applications. The J2EE Connector architecture provides a Java technology solution to the problem of connectivity between the many application servers and today's enterprise information systems (EIS).

The J2EE Connector architecture is based on the technologies defined and standardized in the J2EE and is part of the J2EE platform. As more and more enterprises move towards total e-business solutions, integration with existing enterprise information systems (EIS) becomes the key to success. Enterprises with successful e-businesses need to integrate their existing EIS systems with new web-based applications. They also need to extend the reach of their EIS systems to support business-to-business (B2B) transactions.

The J2EE which arrived on the scene, provides containers for client applications, web components based on servlets, JSPs and EJB components. These containers provide deployment and runtime support for application components. Enterprises can write new applications using J2EE technology capabilities. The J2EE Connector architecture 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.

The J2EE Connector architecture also defines a Common Client Interface (CCI) for EIS access. The CCI defines a standard client API for application components. The CCI enables application components and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) frameworks to drive interactions across heterogeneous EISs using a common client API. The CCI is intended for use by Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and enterprise tools vendors.
