Session Title:	Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition Technology-Based Connector Architecture 1.6
Session Abstract:	The connector architecture in Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform) enables an enterprise application to work with disparate enterprise information systems (EISs) such as databases, MoM products, and transaction monitors. The technology enables the application server to become the integration tier, helps developers and EIS vendors consolidate their integration logic, and saves application component developers the trouble of integrating with multivendor systems. The Connector 1.6 specification (through the work done in JSR 322), part of the Java EE 6 platform, enhances the the earlier Connector 1.5 specification in the following areas: • Defining a generic mechanism for contextual information during work execution. The specification standardizes propagation of security and transactional information from an EIS to a Java EE technology-based component. • Dramatically simplifying the development of connectors through extensive use of Java programming language annotations, reducing the need to develop redundant code and the need for a deployment descriptor, better programmatic defaults, and so on. • Providing features that enhance QoS and the reliability of connection management, work execution, and the like. This session covers these changes and demonstrates how developers can effectively use them in building resource adapters.
