Example of TCP JCA Connector

[michele.curioni]

Hi there,

does JBoss ship with a TCP connector?

I'm trying to implement a resource adapter (using JCA 1.5) to connect to a legacy application via TCP/IP channel, but I'm finding it quite hard.
Especially how to manage physical connection pools without spawning separate threads.

If you have an example it would be good as well.

Thanks,
Michele

JBoss doesn't ship with a TCP connector, however, you can take a look at the connector project specifically in the

connector/org/jboss/resource/adapter/jdbc

to see how a JCA works under the hood. The concept are basically the same for all types of adapters. Pooling, security etc is done for you so a majority of what you will usually need in terms of management comes 'out of the box'. Also, our testsuite has examples of a few types of adapters as well.

Sorry for putting such a old thread back to life, but the topic fits perfectly.

I also want to wrap a TCP/IP legacy connection in JCA resource adapter - unfortunately there are only examples how to connect to several EISes with existing APIs...

It would be nice, if someone can give example/links/hints...

Look at the attached sample application which come with the Jboss Documentation Guide .
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=downloads&op=download&downloadId=61

This is file based EIS sample application .
You would need to include the TCP/IP related stuff .
