Chapter 2 Designing and Implementing Custom Adapters : Overview

Overview
Adapter development consists of several stages:
Requirements Definition—Requirements definitions must be comprehensive, including how the adapter communicates with other applications and what throughput and fault tolerance requirements are expected.
Adapter Configuration—Configuration is performed with the TIBCO Designer. Developers create a Generic Adapter Configuration instance and add the required resources for that instance.
The completed adapter configuration is saved to the project repository. Various formats are available. For more information, see the TIBCO Designer Adapter Resource Management Guide. Examples are given in the TIBCO Adapter SDK Programmer’s Guide.
Adapter SDK Programming—An SDK program uses the information in the adapter configuration and performs specified actions.
The TIBCO Adapter SDK Programmer’s Guide gives instructions on how to use the available classes. In addition, API Reference documentation for both C++ and Java, and a set of programming examples are present in the TIBCO Adapter SDK package.
As part of the cycle, testing must be included at each stage.
