What's the advantage to supporting JDBC through JCA? Is it that JCA requires logic to deal with associating with transactions and security, and if JDBC works through that we don't have to implement the same features twice? Or are there other considerations?
That's correct.
However there are some cons while using this too, the biggest by far being that the speed of JDBC access is hit.

IMNSHO jdbc support should be through the JCA (connector) support and jca-jdbc wrappers.
I think jca should be a separate module ("connector")
AFAIK the only specific communication with the ejb subsystem needed can be provided by an interceptor that makes sure connection handles get re-associated under the correct security context.
