User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Network boundaries in JCA?": http://community.jboss.org/message/525612#525612 Author : Ben Cotton Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/ben.cotton@rutgers.edu Message: --------------------------------------------------------------   The JCA specification does not explicitly address accommodating a +remote+ client application's JNDI lookup() of a ConnectionFactory reference that bridges to a provider's ConnectionFactory implementation via that provider's resource adapter.  Accommodating a +remote+ client application in this way would be a value added feature above and beyond what the spec requires for the ConnectionFactory bridge.  Though it is not a strict JCA requirement, some JEE app servers do accommodate this capability (but some don't).   Some similar recent discussion w.r.t.  JBoss AS 5.1 and this issue takes place here:   http://community.jboss.org/message/525226#525226 , http://community.jboss.org/thread/72803?tstart=0 -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/525612#525612
