All Implemented Interfaces:
IInputAdapter, com.streambase.sb.util.LocatedItem, Serializable

public abstract class InputAdapter extends Operator implements IInputAdapter
Convenience abstract base class for input adapters. Adapters are intended to exchange information between StreamBase applications and external data sources and sinks. Input adapters take information from outside of an application and provide it in the form of a stream or streams to the application.

Input adapters should call Operator.sendOutput(int,Tuple) to provide tuples to the application.

For in-depth information on implementing an input adapter, please see "Using the Embedded Adapter API" in the StreamBase documentation.
