Subject: [JDBC] JDBC Connector Early Access Release


> The JDBC(TM) Connector is now available as an early access release on the
Java
> Developer Connection website:
>
> http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/jdbc/index.html
>
> The JDBC Connector is a J2EE Connector Architecture compliant connector
that
> facilitates integration of databases with J2EE application servers. The
JDBC
> Connector makes it easy to plug any driver based on JDBC technology ("JDBC
> driver") into any J2EE compliant application server.
>
> The JDBC Connector forms the "glue" layer between a JDBC driver and an
> application server. It benefits both the JDBC driver vendors and
application
> server vendors. The JDBC driver vendors can use the JDBC Connector to
package
> their JDBC drivers as connectors (resource adapters), thus enabling
> plug-and-play with J2EE application servers. J2EE application server
vendors can
> use JDBC Connector to allow pluggability of any third-party JDBC drivers
into
> their products.
>
> More information on the JDBC Connector can be found at:
>
> http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/related.html
>
> Download and evaluate the JDBC Connector, provide comments and feedback to
