| J2EE Connector Architecture (BW-BEX-UDI) |
A standard architecture from Sun designed for connecting J2EE servers with EISs. The architecture defines a set of contracts, such as transactions, security, and connection management, that a connector has to support to plug in to an application server.
JCA provides an API for connecting to heterogeneous data sources in a consistent manner. The BI Java Connectors are JCA-compliant.
