    JCA and Legacy Systems

    cristo1701

      Howdy,

      Would using JCA work for accessing an external EIS. For example, lets say you are registrar (godaddy) that must communicate with a registry (verisign) using their predefined protocol (EPP). Is it possible to use JCA and create a connection adapter that can use their predefined protocol to communicate with the registry? Am I totally going the wrong direction on this?

      Thanks,

      Jason

          The advantages with creating a JCA connector is so that you can create a pooled, managed resource that can take part in a JTA (transaction). And integrates better with EJB, supports security, etc.

          For simple resources, such as read-only look up services, I would advise creating an MBean instead.

            Hello Jason.
            Just wonder how did you solve your problem ?
            I have the same question currently and trying to find out if JCA will be
            suitable thing for EPP connection management.

            Regards,
            Andrew
