Hi Arjan,

That actually is a good question.

I did a google search on JCA 1.0 specification and the first link is this.

https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/jcp/connector_architecture-1.6-fr-oth-JSpec/connector-1_6-final-spec.pdf?AuthParam=1559132662_c49444f7357ad9d8d448aebb76bf0b55

My guess is most of the experts that created and worked on this specification considered it an architecture. The JCA specifications is all about of how objects interact with each other.

Its likely some of the newer specification are architectures, but when the name was created for the specification, the architecture name was not used.

Everyone has different name preferences, I really don't have a strong opinion on new names, but changing names after they have been used for several years always results in some confussion for both developers and customers that should be avoided unless required.

Thanks,

Hi James,

It was discussed in the issue, but still wondering. Why according to you is JCA an architecture, but JPA is an API? And JSF and JMS are neither? Why are JASPIC and JACC not architectures?

Not trying to be clever here, but just like to make it clear why you think of all the Jakarta EE specs, JCA is one of the few to qualify to be called an architecture, while the other specs don't qualify to be called that? What's the difference?

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
