Java Connector Architecture

Within the SOA Suite, adapters are implemented and accessed using a Java technology known as Java Connector Architecture (JCA). JCA provides a standard packaging and discovery method for adapter functionality. Most of the time, SOA Suite developers will be unaware of JCA because JDeveloper generates a JCA binding as part of a WSDL interface and automatically deploys them with the SCA Assembly. In the current release, JCA adapters must be deployed separately to a WebLogic server for use by the Oracle Service Bus.
