Hi ev'ryone
I need some pointers as to how one goes about writing a JCA resource adapter, and/or an InflowGateway (it's not really clear to me what is actually needed).
The situation is this: We have a legacy, in-house developed notification, or perhaps subscription, system. It's written in C and supports a push protocol. We also a wrapper, so a client to this system may be developed in Java.
What I would like to do is write an adapter to this system, so I can configure a jca-gateway and have messages from this system on the bus. I have looked at various pages that describes how an InflowGateway can be used to pull messages from a mail account, a jms queue, and such. But these examples relies on already existing resource adapter (mail-ra.ra, jms-ra.rar). I think i'd have to write a new adapter to our system, but I can't really seem to find any good information about how that is done.
Also, it's now clear to me if I also must write a class that supports InflowGateway.
Any clues, suggestions and links are much welcome

You should probably work on the JCA Adapter first and get that working in isolation. Please use the JCA docs/forums etc for this.
