Day 7 - WBI and WAS Adapters
Tuesday was adapter day. We went through both the old WBI Adapters and the new WAS Adapters
IBM currently bundles the old WBI Adapters when customers buy the new WAS Adapters so they may choose which one to use. The WBI Adapters are connected to WPS using JMS import/export modules. Nothing new about the WBI Adapters, same tools used for connector configuration and business object design etc.
The new WAS Adapters are based on the Java Connector Architechture (JCA) and hence are run inside the WAS as an J2EE component. They, of course, use SDO to represent data. Currently there are WAS Adapters for SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, flat files, and JDBC.
We also learnt that WebSphere Partner Gateway (WPG) is bundeled with WPS. WPG is an effective tool if you wish to work with EDI and XML transformations and can be used toghether with WPS.
