Business object standards
- Business object naming
EIS object names are extracted during the metadata import process. These names often must be modified for use with a resource adapter. Business object names, such as Customer or Address, must reflect the data structures they represent and follow a camel case initial capitalization format.- Standard operations
As described by the JCA specification, a resource adapter is generally intended to expose low-level, EIS-specific operations. These EIS-specific operations range from create, retrieve, update, and delete (for database-type applications) to those that are unique to customer EIS instances (for function-based adapters such as SAP).- Standard processing logic
Each adapter should enable operations that are supported by the EIS.
