About the Siebel Resource Adapter

The Siebel Resource Adapter is for use within the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) by J2EE-based applications (EJBs, JSPs, servlets) that are deployed on containers. JCA provides clients with a standard interface to multiple enterprise information services such as the Siebel application.

The Siebel Resource Adapter implements system-level contracts that make able a standard J2EE application server to perform services such as pooling connections and managing security. This is referred to as operation within a managed environment. The J2EE Connection Architecture also provides for operation in a non-managed environment, where the client need not be deployed in a J2EE container, but instead uses the adapter directly. In this case, the client takes responsibility for services such as managing security.

The Siebel Resource Adapter has transaction support level NoTransaction. This means that the Siebel Resource Adapter does not support local or JTA transactions.
