SAP JRA is an add-on for SAP JCo.

as mentioned here

For J2EE client applications, you can use SAP JRA in the SAP system instead of the standalone JCo.

meaning,applications running inside app server environment can use JRA in place of JCo.

The advantage being

Thread- control

security configuration

transaction administration

establishment of connections

synchronization are all managed via the SAP application server and do not require you to make any settings in SAP JRA.

SAP Jco - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm

to get an idea about SAP JCo have a look into this thread. It is a good read abt SAP Jco and Java Proxies.

Abt JRA , i guess SAP JRA uses SAP JCo for the calls made from its framework. Not sure about it though.
