Use this page to specify advanced settings for resource adapters that comply with the Version 1.5 and 1.6 Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Connector Architecture (JCA) specification.
A resource adapter is an implementation of the JCA specification that provides access for applications to an enterprise information system (EIS), like DB2®, CICS®, SAP and PeopleSoft, or provides access for an EIS to applications on the server. A resource adapter can also provide an EIS with the ability to communicate with message-driven beans that are configured on the server. Some resource adapters are provided by IBM®, but third party vendors can provide their own resource adapters.
A resource adapter implementation is provided in a resource adapter archive file; this file has an extension of .rar. A resource adapter can be provided as a stand-alone adapter or as part of an application, in which case it is referred to as an embedded adapter.
