So the question was asked wrong? Assumption: All the ConnectionFactories we are talking about are dishing out javax.jms.Connection objects.
Perhaps my confusion is related to the fact that we have Connections and Connection factories in both JCA and JMS worlds? ok, so you are saying (trying to answer the questions in the original post) A1) If you want the benefits that come from using a ResourceAdaptor (xa, security, pooling) use java:/JmsXA to obtain a jms connection object. If not, use java:/XAConnectionFactory (defined in jvm-il-service.xml) to obtain a "plain" jms connection object. Q3) This won't do xa because we're not using the ResourceAdaptor??? A2) The differences between the connection factories defined/declared in jms-ds.xml and jvm-il-service.xml still remain unclear. For example they both contain the JNDI name java:/XAConnectionFactory. Q4) Who is binding what into JNDI? jms-ds.xml docu p359 "The JNDI name under which the provider javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory will be bound." | [JMSProviderLoader] <----JmsProviderAdapterJNDI------ [tx-connection-factory] | | | +---QueueFactoryRef----> java:/XAConnectionFactory | jvm-il-service.xml docu p337 "The JNDI location that this IL will bind a ConnectionFactory setup to use this IL." | [JVMServerILService] | | | +---ConnectionFactoryJNDIRef----> java:/ConnectionFactory | | | +---XAConnectionFactoryJNDIRef----> java:/XAConnectionFactory | They can't both bind something to the same name, so one of them must be referencing the other. My guess is that the [JMSProviderLoader] is referencing the ConnectionFactory defined by the [JVMServerILService] who is responsible for binding it into JNDI. Q5)Is this correct? If the relationship between the RA and IL is perfectly clear then it should be pretty simple to explain. Please.
