Chapter 41. Configuring Resource Adapters

This chapter describes how to use resource adapters with JOnAS.

41.1. Principles

Resource Adapters are packaged for deployment in a standard Java programming language Archive file called a RAR file (Resource ARchive), which is described in the J2EE Connector Architecture specification.

The standard method of creating the jonas-ra.xml file is by using the RAConfig tool, for a complete description see Section 6.7 RAConfig.
