A namespace node package is a package in which an adapter user will create the adapter's namespace nodes for connections, adapter services, polling notifications, listener notifications, and listeners. They should not create nodes in the adapter package. Keeping namespace nodes separate from the adapter package simplifies the process of upgrading a deployed adapter.

The procedure for creating a namespace node package is identical to the procedure for creating any webMethods package. For instructions for creating packages, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.

All the nodes of an adapter may be located in one package, or they may be distributed among multiple packages.
