Note:
For 3.0 adapter services, you need to specify the jar file information or the JNDI name of the 3.0 EJBs in the config.xml file located at Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages\WmEJBAdapter\config folder. For more details on configuring the config.xml file, see Configuring Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans for Adapter Services.

The following table lists the tasks required to use adapter services:

1. Create and enable an adapter connection using Integration Server Administrator. See Adapter Connections for details.

2. Select the appropriate adapter service template and configure the necessary adapter services using Designer.

Depending on the type of adapter service, you specify the:

Adapter connection

EJB class

EJB create method and/or bean method

Method parameter names, if any (optional)

See Adapter Services for more information about configuring each of the adapter services.

3. If you plan to use an Integration Server flow service or Java service to invoke the adapter service, design the flow service to use Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans services you configure using Designer. For information about using Designer, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.

For information about using the adapter services in a flow, see Creating Flows for Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans Services. To see how to use the services in different operations, see Scenarios.

4. Manage the adapter services using Designer and Integration Server Administrator. See Managing the Adapter Package and Adapter Logging and Exception Handling for details.
