3rd party JCA? when is it advisable?

We have to interface to a legacy transaction protocol based on secure FTP. Should I consider using 3rd party JCA impl, such as Librados, that provides FTP functionality? Are there other alternatives already avaialble in JBoss?

For sending files I've successfully used Jakarta Commons-Net. However, I think this starts a background thread. If so, it's not strictly spec compliant.
