Good summary anonymous wrote : | The JCAMetaDataRepository is up and running but really needs some work to become fully functional. | The biggest areas that need addressing are for the other JCA deployment types ActivationSpec AdminObjects Further, this needs properly integrating with EJB3 to better support inbound adapter managment (ie activating endpoints etc, MEF managment). Also, the repository has rudimentary capabilities to report what's currently deployed. This could use some work as well. anonymous wrote : | 2) Pull JCA out of JBossAS | 3) Core JCA | While the prototype has been checked into the SVN and Mavenized, it is indeed a prototype. I have some questions regarding the MC especially in terms of AOP integration. I will put these in a coherent format for discussion. Most of these questions simply amount to what I believe is my misunderstanding about the MC-->AOP integration stuff, as well as MC deployment in the 'new world'. Primarily my questions usually are of the form...'How to I get X attribute(s) into this interceptor for this particular JCA resource to manage things like Pool locking strategy, idle timeout etc'. Again, this is my lack of understanding about the MC/AOP model more than anything else. Fortunately, the new deployment framework was designed so that when JCA is ported to the MC, it's simply a matter of swapping in the MC objects for the JMX stuff used today. This was the point of the builder stuff where from a deployment, objects (you don't really know what type) can be generated and deployed into either the JMX or MC environment. anonymous wrote : | 4) Adapters | In conjunction with #2, the adapter set needs to be pulled out of AS *and* given its own release cycle/model. JCA core and the JCA adapters should independent of one another. | Correct. It is my plan to have the adapters evolve independently (as much as possible) from the core JCA container.
