The goal of the IronJacamar project is to provide an implementation of the Java Connector Architecture 1.7 specification.

The specification can be found here: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=322.

The Java EE Connector Architecture container can be viewed as a foundation inside an application server as it provides connectivity to the other containers such that they can communicate with EISes. Iron is often used as foundation in building houses too.

The Jacamar bird family which lives in Central and South America are glossy elegant birds with long bills and tails. Why we picked the Jacamar family is left as an exercise for the reader :)
