Adapter Components

The adapter can run either as a standalone process or as a service. When run as a service, the adapter participates in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment.

The adapter components are:

•	Standalone

Using this component you create adapter projects which run as a standalone process. This adapter component is referred to as the standalone adapter.

Standalone adapter projects are created and configured using TIBCO Designer and deployed using TIBCO Administrator.

•	Adapter Service Engine

Using this component you create and configure adapter projects that can be deployed as a service in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix environment. This adapter component is referred to as the adapter service engine.

Adapter service engine projects are created using TIBCO Business Studio and deployed using TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator.

The adapter component is wired with other composite elements in the ActiveMatrix SOA Project.

Existing standalone adapter configurations can also be deployed as services.

Throughout this book, references to an adapter include both the standalone and adapter service engine components.
