This white paper details the basics of implementing Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Connector Architecture (JCA) with managed connections and inbound resource adaptation. It also describes two different means to access and drive native instrumentation services: the Java Native Interface (JNI) and a Surrogate Process/Inter-Process Communication (IPC).
The demand for Web-driven and automated resource management is constantly increasing. Designs vary, but the common theme among them is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It provides the benefit of being a modular, reusable, object-oriented division of responsibility among the various components that provide access to manageable resources.
This white paper takes a comprehensive look at creating such a modular system using
J2EE technology. Learn about the employment of various types of Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJB) components that enable rapid development and portable deployment of Web
applications and Web services. And examine the use of a variety of other technologies,
including the JNI and IPC.
