Chapter 2 Adapter Configuration : Types of Configuration Information

Types of Configuration Information
The first step in developing a custom adapter is to specify the configuration information. TIBCO Adapter SDK allows you to specify various types of configuration information:
Application Objects (publisher, subscriber, session, and so on)
Application objects are specified in TIBCO Designer using the Generic Adapter Configuration resource and saved in the project repository.
At runtime, the SDK accesses the descriptions based on the configUrl or repoUrl and stores them in the MProperties class. The custom adapter can then access the data through MProperties. See Sending and Receiving Data.
Metadata Information (class description and operation description)
Metadata information is specified using TIBCO Designer or by editing the AEXML repository file.
At runtime, the SDK accesses the descriptions based on the configUrl or repoUrl and creates class description classes (for example, MClassDescription). Custom adapters access the class descriptions through the MClassRegistry object and create instances based on the description. See Metadata.
Global Variables
Global variables are specified in TIBCO Designer, in a properties file, or on the command-line. See Variable Substitution.
Startup Information
Startup information is specified using the Generic Adapter Configuration resource inside the application code, in a properties file, or on the command-line.
