Manage messaging with a third-party JCA 1.5 or 1.6-compliant messaging provider
We can configure WebSphere Application Server to use a third-party JCA 1.5-compliant or 1.6-compliant messaging provider. We might want to do this, for example, if we have existing investments.
For messaging between application servers, perhaps with some interaction with a WebSphere MQ system, we can use the default messaging provider. To integrate WebSphere Application Server messaging into a predominately WebSphere MQ network, we can use the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. We can also use a third-party messaging provider as described in this topic. To choose the provider that is best suited to the needs, see Choose a messaging provider.
A third-party JCA 1.5-compliant or 1.6-compliant messaging provider takes the form of a resource adapter that you install in WebSphere Application Server. Use administrative console to administer the activation specifications (for message-driven beans) and other J2C administered objects for the provider.
In a mixed-version WebSphere Application Server deployment manager cell, we can administer third-party messaging resources on Version 8, Version 7 and Version 6 nodes.
- Install the third-party JCA 1.5-compliant or 1.6-compliant messaging provider.
Install the resource adapter for the third-party provider, as described in Install a resource adapter archive.

Subtopics
- Configure an activation specification for a third-party JCA resource adapter
We can configure an activation specification used to deploy message-driven beans with a Java™ Connector Architecture (JCA), also called J2EE Connector (J2C), resource adapter that is not included as part of the WAS.
- Configure an administered object for a third-party JCA resource adapter
We can configure an administered object for a Java™ Connector Architecture (JCA), also called J2EE Connector (J2C), resource adapter that is not included as part of the WAS.
