• JMS resource connection factory references
• Resource environment references
• J2EE connectors
• EJB components hosted on other EJB 2.0 application servers, using

For more information, see Chapter 5, “Naming Services,” in the EAServer
System Administration Guide.
J2EE security enhancements
EAServer 4.0 implements J2EE version 1.3 security requirements including
the JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Services) API and CORBA
Secure Interoperable version 2 protocol (CSIv2). CSIv2 allows security
context propagation across servers to satisfy EJB 2.0 interoperability
requirements. JAAS provides a framework and standard programming
interface for authenticating users and assigning privileges.
For more information, see the following chapters in the EAServer Security
Administration and Programming Guide:
• Chapter 2, “Securing Component Access,”
• Chapter 11, “Using the JAAS API,”
Enhanced transaction support
EAServer 4.0 supports the Java Transaction Service Transaction Manager. This
enables EAServer to control the scope and duration of transactions across
multiple resource managers. EAServer also supports transaction
interoperability, which allows transactional components on multiple servers to
participate in the same transaction. For more information, see Chapter 2,
“Understanding Transactions and Component Lifecycles,” in the EAServer
Programmer’s Guide.
