The J2EE Connector Architecture, part of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.3, specifies a standard architecture for accessing resources in diverse Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). These may include ERP systems such as SAP R/3, mainframe transaction processing systems such as IBM CICS, legacy applications and non-relational database systems. This paper describes the 1.0 version of the Connector Architecture specification at a high level, including system contracts defined between the J2EE platform-based application server and the EIS resource adapter, providing security, connection pooling, and transaction management facilities, common Client Interface (CCI) between the EIS resource adapter and application components or tools and packaging and deployment of resource adapters in an application server environment.
