An adapter service defines an operation that the adapter will perform on a resource. You need to implement one adapter service template class for each resource operation the adapter will support.

For example, you might create a service template that fetches rows from a database based on a key field, and another service template that updates and inserts records into the database.

Adapter users will define their run-time adapter service nodes based on these templates. Designer provides facilities for creating, configuring, and testing adapter service nodes.
