Re: JCA in a non-managed environment

Try Sun ONE Connector Builder 2.0
<http://wwws.sun.com/software/products/connector_builder/home_connector_builder.html>.
It provides non-managed support for the adapters it generates. It
includes a File based JNDI implementation and command line tools for
adapter deployment. It also includes a pool implementation for optimal
resource utilization. These tools should work for other compliant
adapters too.
If not, as Jon suggests, you always have an option to instantiate
ConnectionFactory and use it directly.
