WebSphere Adapters implement the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) and Enterprise MetaData Discovery specifications to provide a simple and quick integration experience with graphical discovery tools without resorting to writing code.
WebSphere Adapters includes three types of adapters:
- Application Adapters
These adapters integrate enterprise business app suites:
- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
- Oracle E-Business Suite
- PeopleSoft Enterprise
- SAP Exchange Infrastructure
- SAP Software
- Siebel Business Applications
- Technology Adapters
These adapters deliver file and database connectivity solutions:
- Flat Files
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- JDBC
- WBI Adapters
These adapters use an asynchronous stand alone runtime architecture (the WBI Framework) with WebSphere MQ or JMS as the underlying transport protocol. Originally designed for WebSphere InterChange Server (WICS), they remain available for WebSphere Message Broker, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Process Server users transitioning from WebSphere InterChange Server or WebSphere Business Integration Server.
WebSphere Adapters are used with the WebSphere Adapter Toolkit, an Eclipse-based toolkit, to enable customers and business partners to develop custom JCA adapters to meet unique business requirements. The toolkit helps to create either a basic JCA 1.5 adapter, or an adapter that uses the additional capabilities of the Adapter Foundation Classes used by WebSphere Adapters. The WebSphere Adapter Toolkit is provided as a no-fee download from IBM developerWorks to customers and business partners who secure licenses to WebSphere Integration Developer and Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.
