EJB 2.0 can asynchronously connect to anything via MDB; if you are looking
for an asynchronous 1.1 solution, many ejb vendors support JMS.
So I take it JCA is trying to do what CORBA/JNI/RMI currently does, but with
100% Java. Interesting...

Subject: Re: Connector Architecture
Would it be possible (or desirable) to use the connector architecture to
"connect" to a javaspace from an EJB?
It's currently possible to write and read from a JavaSpace, from an EJB, but
an EJB cannot recieve asynchronous messages from a JavaSpace. Could this be
a solution?

JCA has nothing to do with JINI or such rocket science (but so nice...)
APIs.
JCA is an API to access back end systems such as an ERP or a TP monitor.
You can compare JDBC and JCA: JDBC access only relational-formated resource
managers, while JCA access any kind of resource manager.
JCA manage for you: connection, transaction, security.
JCA bring an answer to the following questions:
How an EJB can start a CICS or Tuxedo application?
How to integrate J2ee TX with CICS transactions?
How to access an ERP?
and so on.
So, If you write an "enterprise" application, JCA is a critical part of your
architecture to solve the techological back end intergation and avoid a
vendor lock-in.
JCA was a missing piece in the J2ee "jigsaw" enterprise API, that's now
solved with J2ee 1.3
Tibo.
