Samples overview
When you installed the IBM WebSphere Adapter Toolkit, two sample resource
adapters were placed on your system. The samples installed with WebSphere
Adapter Toolkit are a reference for the creation of custom JCA resource adapters.
There are two samples as follows:
v The TwineBall sample is an implementation of a custom WebSphere Adapter
based on the Adapter Foundation Classes. This sample is located in the
adapter/twineball directory of the install location you selected.
The sample adapter connects to a sample enterprise information system (EIS),
which is also called TwineBall. This EIS is included in the RAR package,
twineball.jar. The TwineBall EIS uses the Derby database to store table data in a
file on the file system TWINE.
v The KiteString sample is similar to TwineBall, but is based directly on the JCA
1.5 resource adapter interface specification. The KiteString sample is located in
the adapter/kitestring directory of the install location you selected.
