Integration Using the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

The Plain J2SE Adapter Engine provides various adapters that you can use to connect the Integration Engine to external systems (legacy systems, for example). You can use these adapters to convert XML-based and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocols and formats of systems of this kind and the other way round.

The individual adapters can be installed and configured on the same technical base, either together or separately.

The following adapters are available:

• File/FTP adapter

• JDBC adapter

• JMS adapter

• SOAP adapter

Depending on the configuration, the adapters can be used to do the following:

• Exchange data with external systems using a file interface (File/FTP adapter)

• Access databases using JDBC (JDBC adapter)

• Communicate with messaging systems using the JMS API (JMS adapter)

You need to differentiate here between adapters that are located before inbound processing in the Integration Engine (sender adapter) and those that are located after outbound processing in the Integration Engine (receiver adapter).

Each adapter has a special module that is started when the adapter is connected. You must install and configure this module correspondingly.

For information about configuring the adapters and for an explanation of the parameters, see Configuration .

The configuration options of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine can be accessed from the Exchange Infrastructure start page (or from http://<host>:8200 , where <host> is the Integration Server in an all-in-one installation).
