Connector projects (JCA 1.0 to JCA 1.5)

The J2EE Migration Wizard migrates the artifacts of a J2EE Connector architecture (JCA) 1.0 descriptor to JCA 1.5. The migrated artifacts are related to the elements of the ResourceAdaptor object as two new objects, OutboundResourceAdaptor and ConnectionDefinition, were added to the ResourceAdaptor object in J2EE 1.4 specification level for Connector projects.

The mapping of the migrated elements is described below.

• The following elements are moved from the ResourceAdaptor object to the OutboundResourceAdaptor object:
  • reauthenticationSupport

  • transactionSupport

• The following elements are moved from the ResourceAdaptor object to the ConnectionDefinition object:
  • managedConnectionFactoryClass

  • connectionFactoryInterface

  • connectionFactoryImplClass

  • connectionInterface

  • connectionImplClass

• The outboundResourceAdaptor object contains a list of ConnectionDefinition definitions. Hence the ConnectionDefinition is added to the ConnectionDefinition list held by OutboundResourceAdaptor.

• The OutboundResourceAdaptor object is contained by the ResourceAdaptor object.

• The AuthenticationMechanism object has undergone some changes in JCA 1.5 where the customAuthMechType element is replaced by the authenticationMechanism and the authenticationType element is replaced by authenticationMechanism

• The description attribute in the ResourceAdaptor object is replaced with a Description object where the description attribute string is set to value element in the Description object for the following objects:
  • SecurityPermission

  • AuthenticationMechanism

  • ConfigurationProperties
