Introduction: Data access resources

This set of topics provide information about accessing data resources.

The connection between an enterprise application and an enterprise information system (EIS) is accomplished through the use of EIS-provided resource adapters, which are plugged into the application server. The resource adapter plays a central role in the integration and connectivity between an EIS and an application server. It serves as the point of contact between application components, application servers, and enterprise information systems. A resource adapter must communicate with other components based on well-defined contracts that are specified by the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA).
