Re: JCA in a non-managed environment

Van,  Thanks for taking the time to reply.  Strictly
speaking though I think were talking about different
issues.  I don't necassarily want to connect to my RA
remotely, I'm just looking for a JNDI provider to
persist
my Connection Factories.  In any case, I've sort of
settled on using the RMI Registry.  Thanks again for
the
input and the link.  By the way, the best discussion I

found on the subject was here:
