WebSphere Adapters
WebSphere Adapter portfolio is a new generation of adapters based on the Java EE Platform, Enterprise Edition standard. A WebSphere Adapter implements the JCA specification 1.5. Also known as resource adapters or JCA adapters, WebSphere Adapters enable managed, bidirectional connectivity and data exchange between a number of EIS resources including PeopleSoft, SAP, Siebel, JD Edwards, and Oracle.
WebSphere Adapters available in Rational Application Developer v7.5 include:
| 
|
| WebSphere Adapter for JDBC |
|
|
|
| WebSphere Adapter for Sap Software |
|
|
|
| WebSphere Adapter for Sap Software with transaction support |
|
|
|
| WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications |
|
|
|
| WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft |
|
|
|
| WebSphere Adapter for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne |
When developing a custom JCA compliant resource adapter, you can choose to develop either the WebSphere type of resource adapter or the base JCA type of resource adapter. WebSphere Adapters are fully compliant with the JCA 1.5 specification and contain IBM extensions.
If you choose to develop an IBM WebSphere type of resource adapter, you can leverage the services provided by the adapter foundation classes. You can extend the generically implemented system contract classes to fit the needs of your custom adapter. Your custom adapter can also make use of the built-in utility APIs to handle common adapter tasks. Using adapter foundation classes significantly reduces your development time and effort to create a custom adapter.
