javax.resource.cci
Interface ResourceAdapterMetaData

public interface ResourceAdapterMetaData

The interface javax.resource.cci.ResourceAdapterMetaData provides information about capabilities of a resource adapter implementation. Note that this interface does not provide information about an EIS instance that is connected through the resource adapter.

A CCI client uses a ConnectionFactory.getMetaData to get metadata information about the resource adapter. The getMetaData method does not require that an active connection to an EIS instance should have been established.

The ResourceAdapterMetaData can be extended to provide more information specific to a resource adapter implementation.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getAdapterName() Gets a tool displayable name of the resource adapter.
java.lang.String	getAdapterShortDescription() Gets a tool displayable short desription of the resource adapter.
java.lang.String	getAdapterVendorName() Gets the name of the vendor that has provided the resource adapter.
java.lang.String	getAdapterVersion() Gets the version of the resource adapter.
java.lang.String[]	getInteractionSpecsSupported() Returns an array of fully-qualified names of InteractionSpec types supported by the CCI implementation for this resource adapter.
java.lang.String	getSpecVersion() Returns a string representation of the version of the connector architecture specification that is supported by the resource adapter.
boolean	supportsExecuteWithInputAndOutputRecord() Returns true if the implementation class for the Interaction interface implements public boolean execute(InteractionSpec ispec, Record input, Record output) method; otherwise the method returns false.
boolean	supportsExecuteWithInputRecordOnly() Returns true if the implementation class for the Interaction interface implements public Record execute(InteractionSpec ispec, Record input) method; otherwise the method returns false.
boolean	supportsLocalTransactionDemarcation() Returns true if the resource adapter implements the LocalTransaction interface and supports local transaction demarcation on the underlying EIS instance through the LocalTransaction interface.

Method Detail

getAdapterVersion

public java.lang.String getAdapterVersion()

Gets the version of the resource adapter.

Returns:

String representing version of the resource adapter

getAdapterVendorName

public java.lang.String getAdapterVendorName()

Gets the name of the vendor that has provided the resource adapter.

Returns:

String representing name of the vendor that has provided the resource adapter

getAdapterName

public java.lang.String getAdapterName()

Gets a tool displayable name of the resource adapter.

Returns:

String representing the name of the resource adapter

getAdapterShortDescription

public java.lang.String getAdapterShortDescription()

Gets a tool displayable short desription of the resource adapter.

Returns:

String describing the resource adapter

getSpecVersion

public java.lang.String getSpecVersion()

Returns a string representation of the version of the connector architecture specification that is supported by the resource adapter.

Returns:

String representing the supported version of the connector architecture

getInteractionSpecsSupported

public java.lang.String[] getInteractionSpecsSupported()

Returns an array of fully-qualified names of InteractionSpec types supported by the CCI implementation for this resource adapter. Note that the fully-qualified class name is for the implementation class of an InteractionSpec. This method may be used by tools vendor to find information on the supported InteractionSpec types. The method should return an array of length 0 if the CCI implementation does not define specific InteractionSpec types.

Returns:

Array of fully-qualified class names of InteractionSpec classes supported by this resource adapter's CCI implementation

InteractionSpec

supportsExecuteWithInputAndOutputRecord

public boolean supportsExecuteWithInputAndOutputRecord()

Returns true if the implementation class for the Interaction interface implements public boolean execute(InteractionSpec ispec, Record input, Record output) method; otherwise the method returns false.

Returns:

boolean depending on method support

See Also:

Interaction

supportsExecuteWithInputRecordOnly

public boolean supportsExecuteWithInputRecordOnly()

Returns true if the implementation class for the Interaction interface implements public Record execute(InteractionSpec ispec, Record input) method; otherwise the method returns false.

Returns:

boolean depending on method support

See Also:

Interaction

supportsLocalTransactionDemarcation

public boolean supportsLocalTransactionDemarcation()

Returns true if the resource adapter implements the LocalTransaction interface and supports local transaction demarcation on the underlying EIS instance through the LocalTransaction interface.

Returns:

true if resource adapter supports resource manager local transaction demarcation through LocalTransaction interface; false otherwise
