Resource Adapter Archive (RAR) files in WebSphere Application Server V5.0
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Can Resource Adapter Archive (RAR) files be directly installed into IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V5.0?
 
Cause
RAR is a Resource Adapter Archive file. It contains all the information necessary for installing, configuring and running a JCA Resource Adapter. A resource adapter is a system-level software driver that is used by a Java™ application to connect to an enterprise information system (EIS) or enterprise application. A resource adapter plugs into an application server and provides connectivity between the EIS, the application server, and the enterprise application.
 
Resolving the problem
Yes, Resource Adapter Archive files can be directly installed into WebSphere Application Server V5.0.

Resource Adapter Archive files can also be packaged in a J2EE 1.3 or 1.4 application. When the application is installed into an Application Server, the Resource Adapter Archive file will be registered with the server.
