4.2. Connection Factory

Connection Factories provide connection objects to the Resource Adapter (deployed in a RAR) they are associated with. The following types of Connection Factories are managed through the Admin Console:
  • No Tx Connection Factories - these do not take part in JTA transactions
  • Local Transaction Connection Factories - these participate in local JTA transactions
  • XA Transaction Connection Factories - these participate in distributed JTA transactions
