hi Manisha,

JCA is an api for connecting SAP to any back end Databases say Oracle or Sybase or sql server.JCO is a specific type of JCA architecture for connecting back end DB.For using JCA,you have configure your SLD in ur WAS 6.40 (modeldata and metadata config for ur client

in ur R/3).Using JCO u can achieve this.

Hello,

SAP JCO (Java Connector) is middleware (jar files + dlls) provided by SAP to connect form any Java stack to ABAP and vice versa (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm).

JCA (J2EE Connector Architecture) is a specification, that defines a standard on how to communicate from a J2EE application to backend systems or persistence layers like Java data objects,.. (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5caa85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm).

SAP JRA (Java Resource Adapter) is an implementation of JCA on top of JCO, so SAPs way of integrating into any J2EE compliant application server (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ea/62eaada93611d6b28600508b5d5211/content.htm).

I hope this clarifies a bit the confusion on JCO, JCA and JRA.

Have fun,

Hi,

JCO (JCA) Java connector Architecture is purely based on java plotform,Since SAP web aPPLICATION SERVER SUPPORTS J2EE you can Use SAP WAS 6.4 .

Hope this helped you

Hi Manisha,

JCO is a Java library, that can be used from any Java stack.

If you use it in an Oracle environment, it will work, and you have to access the SAP system by coding against the Java API of JCO.

Best regards,
