Accessing ResourceAdapter implementation instance from web a

[galderz]

Hi,

I have just finished a JCA (1.5) implementation for outbound TCP/IP connections and I was planning to create a web-app that would allow me to control different ManagedConnectionFactory instances associated with my ResourceAdapter implementation.

This would allow me to, given a moment in time, see which connection factories are active, how many connections are in use and possibly destroy some of them if necessary.

In order to do this, I need to be able to access the ResourceAdapter implementation instance from my web application. I looked in the JCA spec, but nothing seems to be mentioned about whether it is possible to access the ResourceAdapter implementation.

Any one done this?

I think i might be able to do it via the RAR deployment service JMX bean ('ResourceAdapter' attribute), but this would tie me to a JBoss application server implementation.

Any help would be appreciated

All servers that support jca also support jmx so I don't see why there is a coupling to jboss.

i'm not saying because of the jmx support, but because i don't know whether all the app servers have a RAR deployment JMX bean with a ResourceAdapter attribute:

Domain=jboss.jca
name='anything.ear#myRA.rar',service=RARDeployment
MBean attribute: ResourceAdapter
