Generate a JCA resource adapter

You use the wizard to generate adapter classes that correspond to the properties and options you specify.

The following sections describe the JCA resource adapter classes.

Outbound JCA resource adapter classes

Generating outbound JCA resource adapter classes creates code for the methods that must be implemented to produce a JCA resource adapter that can send business events to an EIS. When you generate outbound adapter classes, the following list of JCA 1.5 interfaces are implemented in your Connector Project::

• ConnectionFactory implements javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory
• Connection implements javax.resource.cci.Connection
• ConnectionMetaData implements javax.resource.cci.ConnectionMetaData
• ConnectionRequestInfo implements javax.resource.cci.ConnectionRequestInfo
• ConnectionSpec implements javax.resource.cci.ConnectionSpec
• Interaction implements javax.resource.cci.Interaction
• InteractionSpec implements javax.resource.cci.InteractionSpec
• LocalTransaction implements javax.resource.cci.LocalTransaction
• ManagedConnectionFactory implements javax.resource.spi.ResourceAdapterAssociation, javax.ValidatingManagedConnectionFactory, ManagedConnectionFactory
• MangedConnection implements javax.resource.spi.DissasociatableManagedConnection, ManagedConnection
• ManagedConnectionMetaData implements ManagedConnectionMetaData

For information about how to generate outbound JCA resource adapter classes, see Generate outbound JCA adapter classes.

Inbound JCA resource adapter classes

Generating inbound JCA resource adapter classes creates code for the methods that must be implemented to produce a resource adapter that can send events from an EIS to a business process. When you generate inbound adapter classes, the following JCA 1.5 interface class is implemented in your Connector Project:

• ActivationSpec Implements javax.resource.spi.ActivationSpec

For information about how to generate inbound JCA resource adapter classes, see Generate inbound JCA adapter classes.

JCA Enterprise Metadata Discovery classes

Generating enterprise metadata discovery classes creates code for the methods needed to produce a service that you can use to glean business object structure and other data from an EIS. The wizard also generates a discovery-service.xml file.

When you generate the enterprise metadata discovery classes, the following JCA interfaces are implemented in your Connector Project::

• DataBindingDescription implements commonj.connector.description.DataBindingDescription
• DataBindingGenerator implements commonj.connector.description.DataBindingGenerator

If you select the IBM WebSphere Adapter Foundation Classes Support feature check box in the Project Facets screen, then the created JCA resource adapter project automatically includes the IBM WebSphere Adapter Foundation Classes library in the project libraries list of the Java™ Build path.

• Generate outbound JCA adapter classes
  The outbound adapter classes are responsible for notifying an EIS of outbound events from a business process.
• Generate inbound JCA adapter classes
  The inbound adapter classes are responsible for notifying a business process of an inbound event from the EIS.
• Generate JCA enterprise metadata discovery classes
  The enterprise metadata discovery classes are used by the external service discovery tool in Integration Designer to introspect an EIS to create business objects and other artifacts.
