6.3.1 WAS JCA support
In WAS, two types of objects are configured for JCA support:
The role of the WebSphere administrator is to:
- Install and define the resource adapter.
- Define connection factories associated with the resource adapter.
From the application point of view, the application using the resource adapter requests a connection from the connection factory through a JNDI lookup. The connection factory connects the application to the resource adapter.
