A JMS implementation integrates into an application server based on the JCA Architecture. A JMS Connection is integrated based on one implementation of a JCA which sets transactional context for the JMS Connection to “no transaction”, and the JMS Session is integrated based on a second implementation of the JCA which ignores any security credentials provided. The application is unaware that it is dealing with a JCA implementation and not directly with the JMS implementation and the JMS implementation is unaware that it is being called via the JCA implementation and not directly from the application.
