Add, configure, and bind an adapter

Add, configure, and bind an adapter


Resource adapters

Resource adapters, usually referred to as adapters, provide a mechanism that allows for the integration of an existing EIS infrastructure with the WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus server. They provide a service-oriented approach to EIS integration. Adapters offer a consistent framework for access to back-end systems and their applications.

Accessing external services with adapters

Services and artifacts on external systems can be imported into WebSphere® Integration Developer. A wizard discovers applications and data on an Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) and lets you generate services from the discovered applications and data. The generated artifacts are interfaces and business objects, which can be used by components in a module.

Configuring and using adapters

The following adapters can be configured to work with WebSphere® Integration Developer. In the documentation for each adapter, you will be shown how to use the external service wizard with the adapter as well as additional information that will be helpful such as field level reference information and runtime information
