JCA adapter versions

Java Specification Requests (JSRs) are developed within the Java Community Process (JCP) and are then agreed on in a formal, generally accessible process. The JSR documents are identified via a number and describe specifications and technologies that can be added to the Java platform. For example, the document "JSR 322: Java EE Connector Architecture 1.6" defines standard Java interfaces for the simple integration of applications for communication with an EIS. In this document, compliance with this specification is referred to simply as "JCA 1.6 conformity". It was preceded by the document "JSR 112: J2EE^TM Connector Architecture 1.5". Compliance with this document is referred to as "JCA 1.5 conformity".
