javax.resource.cci: public interface: ResourceAdapterMetaData

javax.resource.cci
public interface: ResourceAdapterMetaData [javadoc | source] 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 from javax.resource.cci.ResourceAdapterMetaData Summary:
getAdapterName, getAdapterShortDescription, getAdapterVendorName, getAdapterVersion, getInteractionSpecsSupported, getSpecVersion, supportsExecuteWithInputAndOutputRecord, supportsExecuteWithInputRecordOnly, supportsLocalTransactionDemarcation

Method from javax.resource.cci.ResourceAdapterMetaData Detail:
public String getAdapterName() Gets a tool displayable name of the resource adapter.
public String getAdapterShortDescription() Gets a tool displayable short desription of the resource adapter.
public String getAdapterVendorName() Gets the name of the vendor that has provided the resource adapter.
public String getAdapterVersion() Gets the version of the resource adapter.
public 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.
public String getSpecVersion() Returns a string representation of the version of the connector architecture specification that is supported by the resource adapter.
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.
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.
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.
