I am trying to deploy Oracle JCA file adapter into Weblogic to access native file system from my message driven bean. After installing SOA suite, I can find the adapters' RAR files in the SOA HOME/soa/connectors directory.
Since I don't have database installed, my SOA server can not be launched. But I can still create a Weblogic domain with SOA supported, after launching that domain (with some errors), I can see the file adapter is "correctly" deployed.
So I wonder if the JCA resource adapter can work without SOA server? I am asking because I met a very strange issue during the deployment, and I doubt it might related to the lack of SOA server running.
If SOA server is not mandatory for using resource adapter, what is the minimum dependency to deploy a file adapter into Weblogic?
Any idea is appreciated, thanks in advanced.
