Can Jboss Connection Pool framework be used to pool resource

[kumar30r]

Is it possible to use JBOSS's connection pool framework to pool resources other than a datasource? If so, how does one do that?

Any pointers/information greatly appreciated.

When I run a search on this topic in the forums and elsewhere, I only get threads talking about datasource connection pooling and not other generic resources.

Thanks in advance fro your help.

JCA uses the pooling mechanisms. If you implement a JCA 1.0 connector then you will have pooling like you do on datasources.

Datasource is just a special case of a JCA connector.

Thanks for your response, but may be I need to rephrase my question.

Lets say I have a resource of class "MyResource".

If I want to pool this resource, does Jboss have an Object pool framework (like the connection pool), that I can use to pool objects of "MyResource"? Or do I need to create an Object pool framework of my own.

Thank you.

The connection pool is implemented as a JCA resource adapter, if you implement your class so that it is part of a resource adapter it will be poolable.

Have you read anything on JCA yet?

Thanks darranl and Spritualmechanic, I think I got an idea based on what I read on JCA. Lets see how it works..
