javax.resource.cci: public interface: Connection

javax.resource.cci
public interface: Connection [javadoc | source] A Connection represents an application-level handle that is used by a client to access the underlying physical connection. The actual physical connection associated with a Connection instance is represented by a ManagedConnection instance.

A client gets a Connection instance by using the getConnection method on a ConnectionFactory instance. A connection can be associated with zero or more Interaction instances.
