Describing the Adapter to Integration Server
To describe the adapter to Integration Server, you must override the following base class "get" methods in your WmAdapter implementation class:
Name
Description
getAdapterName
Returns the internal name of the adapter. This name is used to identify text fields in the resource bundle, and to identify the relationship between the adapter and its associated namespace nodes. For this reason, it is important that the value returned by this method does not change after namespace nodes have been created. This name must be unique within the scope of Integration Server.
getAdapterVersion
Returns the current version of the adapter. This value appears in the adapter's About page. This should not be confused with the package version used when setting package dependencies.
getAdapterJCASpecVersion
Returns the JCA standard version supported by the adapter. This value should always be "1.0".
getAdapterMajorCode
Must return a unique numeric value (if required) that you can obtain from Software AG (see Registering Your Adapter's Major Code with Software AG).
For examples of these methods, see Example WmAdapter Implementation Class.
