The ConnectionRequestInfo interface enables a resource adapter to pass its own request specific data structure across the connection request flow. A resource adapter extends the empty interface to supports its own data structures for connection request.

A typical use allows a resource adapter to handle application component specified per-connection request properties (example - client ID, language). The application server passes these properties back across to match/createManagedConnection calls on the resource adapter. These properties remain opaque to the application server during the connection request flow.

Once the ConnectionRequestInfo reaches match/createManagedConnection methods on the ManagedConnectionFactory instance, resource adapter uses this additional per-request information to do connection creation and matching.

 public boolean equals(Object other)
Checks whether this instance is equal to another. Since
connectionRequestInfo is defined specific to a resource
adapter, the resource adapter is required to implement
this method. The conditions for equality are specific
to the resource adapter.

 public int hashCode()
Returns the hashCode of the ConnectionRequestInfo.
