IBM WebSphere Adapters Network Card User Manual


 
This documentation describes how to run the Twine Ball sample only. However,
you can apply the instructions for running and testing the Twine Ball sample to
the Kite String sample.
The sample instructions accommodate creating an adapter for the Twine Ball
sample using WebSphere Integration Developer, for deployment to a WebSphere
Process Server runtime environment, as well as instructions for creating the
adapter for the Twine Ball sample using Rational Application Developer, for
deployment to WebSphere Application Server runtime environment.
In order to test the functionality of the adapter used in the sample, the adapter
must include both outbound and inbound processing capabilities. In the
instructions for the sample, you will first select an outbound processing direction
for the adapter. The outbound processing performed by the adapter in the Twine
Ball sample creates a customer. As a result of creating a customer, an event is
created in a database table. When you test the adapter in the sample, the adapter
uses its inbound processing capabilities to retrieve that event.
Both Twineball and KiteString include the following:
v Implementation of a resource adapter and enterprise metadata discovery
v Resource adapter deployment descriptor and source code in Project Interchange
Format suitable for importing into WebSphere Integration Developer
v RAR file suitable for deployment to WebSphere Process Server.
Running the Twine Ball sample using WebSphere Integration
Developer
Use WebSphere Integration Developer to access and run the Twine Ball sample.
Import the samples code
Before you can run the sample, you must first import it into your workspace.
Make sure you have installed WebSphere Adapter Toolkit.
For information on known issues with regard to running the sample code, see
Known issues in Troubleshooting the samples.
Importing the sample code involves bringing sample code and artifacts into your
environment so that you can run a sample application.
The following instructions describe how to use WebSphere Integration Developer
to import a deployable RAR file for use in the Twine Ball sample.
Optionally, you can import the Twine Ball sample by importing the source code.
1. Import the deployable RAR file for the Twine Ball sample from the WebSphere
Integration Developer samples.
a. Launch WebSphere Integration Developer
Click Start Programs IBM WebSphere Integration Developer 6.2.
b. From the menu, select Help Samples
