Interface XAConnectionFactory

All Known Subinterfaces:
XAQueueConnectionFactory, XATopicConnectionFactory

public interface XAConnectionFactory
The XAConnectionFactory interface is a base interface for the XAQueueConnectionFactory and XATopicConnectionFactory interfaces.

Some application servers provide support for grouping JTA capable resource use into a distributed transaction (optional). To include Jakarta Messaging API transactions in a JTA transaction, an application server requires a JTA aware JMS provider. A Jakarta Messaging provider exposes its JTA support using an XAConnectionFactory object, which an application server uses to create XAConnection objects.

XAConnectionFactory objects are Jakarta Messaging administered objects, just like ConnectionFactory objects. It is expected that application servers will find them using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API.

The XAConnectionFactory interface is optional. Jakarta Messaging providers are not required to support this interface. This interface is for use by Jakarta Messaging providers to support transactional environments. Client programs are strongly encouraged to use the transactional support available in their environment, rather than use these XA interfaces directly.
