Welcome to Resources
Data access (JDBC and J2C)
WAS supports all of the resources defined by the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
The J2EE Connector architecture defines a standard architecture that enables the integration of various enterprise information systems (EIS) with appservers and enterprise applications. It defines a standard resource adapter used by a Java application to connect to an EIS. This resource adapter can plug into the application server and, through the Common Client Interface (CCI), provide connectivity between the EIS, the application server, and the enterprise application.
For more information, refer to Welcome to Data Access.
Messaging
The product supports asynchronous messaging as a method of communication based on the Java Message Service (JMS) programming interface. The base JMS support enables IBM WebSphere Application Server applications to exchange messages asynchronously with other JMS clients by using JMS destinations (queues or topics).
For more information, refer to Welcome to Messaging.
Using JavaMail API, a code segment can be embedded in any Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application component, such as an EJB or a servlet, allowing the application to send a message and save a copy of the mail to the Sent folder.
For more information, refer to Welcome to Mail.
URLs
Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications can use URLs as resources in the same way other J2EE resources, such as JDBC and JavaMail, are used.
Resource environment entries
A resource environment reference maps a logical name used by the client application to the physical name of an object.
