Java Connector Architecture 1.6

Date: May 11th, 2010 @ 6 PM
Location:

Boston University

Abstract:

Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) is more or less one of the "hidden" gems 
of the Java Enterprise (Java EE) platform providing a standard API for 
connecting your middleware platform to Enterprise Information Systems (EIS).

This means that the JCA container for example manages all connections to your 
databases and enables messages in a JMS provider to find its way to an 
Enterprise Message-Driven JavaBean.

In this session we will explore what the Java EE Connector Architecture really 
is, and take a look at what makes up the architecture.

We will go through

* Overview of the Java EE Connector Architecture
* What's New in JCA 1.6
* The JBoss JCA project
* Getting started with JCA development

and thereby getting you started harvesting the true power of JCA !
