Transaction management contract |
NoTransaction LocalTransaction XATransaction |

Mandatory |
The Adapter Framework uses the component-managed sign-on application security model. Use of user-specific logon data is not supported. |

Common Client Interface (CCI) |
Should be met |
Mandatory |
The Adapter Framework calls the adapter using CCI (Common Client Interface). CCI defines the call technology, but does not determine the semantics of the interfaces. The Adapter Framework defines additional classes and interfaces to exchange Adapter-Framework-specific objects using CCI. |

Non-managed environment |
Mandatory |
Possible |
The Adapter Framework always runs on the J2EE server, not as a Java application or Applet. Therefore, all JCA non-managed environment requirements are optional for the Adapter Framework. |
