Use the New Connector Project wizard
You use the wizard to create a Connector Project which contains a deployment descriptor and classes. The classes either extend the WebSphere Adapter Foundation Classes or implement the JCA 1.5 Interface specification.
- Launching the New Connector Project wizard
You launch the wizard from IBM Integration Designer.
- Specify project properties
You name your connector project, optionally adding it to an Enterprise Application project. You also specify the configuration used for developing the resource adapter.
- Specify project facets
As part of the process of creating a project, you specify project facets. A project facet represents a unit of functionality in the project. Project facets define characteristics and requirements for projects. When you add a facet to a project, that project is configured to perform a certain task, fulfill certain requirements, or have certain characteristics.- Specify connector project module settings
Specify connector project module settings for your adapter.- Specify resource adapter properties
Resource adapter properties describe the properties that you assign an adapter, and an adapter class.- Specify generation options
You can generate classes for the Generation options components.
- Generate an IBM WebSphere Resource Adapter
You use the wizard to generate adapter classes that correspond to the adapter capabilities you require. This involves choosing the types of adapter classes (outbound, inbound, data binding, or enterprise metadata discovery) you want to generate and then choosing the component properties associated with the adapter classes.
- Generate a JCA resource adapter
You use the wizard to generate adapter classes that correspond to the properties and options you specify.
- Generated code and deployment descriptor
The generated artifacts reflect the adapter classes with the properties and options you specified.
