I just reassigned some JCA issues to the remoting project.
These relate to this issue which I've left in the JCA module but we
need a remoting task to deal with most of the issue:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1794
The fundamental issue is that the original work to make DataSources
available remotely was done incorrectly.
This is not the responsibility of the resource adapter, it is the responsibility
of the application server/jca implementation.
It applies to all outbound deployments not just jdbc.
The only way this can work properly is for some remoting configuration
to be added to the jca deployment such that the "ConnectionFactory" is enhanced
with a remote proxy and then subsequent invocations that deal with
interface retrieval are also enhanced with a proxy as they go across the wire.
e.g. Connection.createStatement()
Additionally, the "connection" needs to have support for "leasing"
which is similar to the JMS ping/pong or dead client detection requirement.
i.e. The server must be able to tidyup after misbehaving clients/networks that don't close
connections properly.
I agree. This should be removed as far away from the adapter(s) as possible.
