packaged-application adapters consists of OracleAS Adapter Application Explorer (Application Explorer), J2CA 1.5 resource adapter, and Business Services Engine (BSE).
Application Explorer is a Java swing-based design-time tool for configuring packaged-application adapters. Using Application Explorer, you can configure the back-end application connection, browse the back-end application schemas, and expose these schemas as adapter services. Application Explorer is shipped with packaged application-specific plug-ins for browsing the back-end application-specific metadata.
Application Explorer works in conjunction with the BSE, which is deployed in the Oracle WebLogic Server container of the Oracle Application Server. BSE uses SOAP as a protocol for accepting requests from clients, interacting with the back-end application, and sending responses from the back-end application back to clients.
- Oracle Adapter for Oracle Applications
Adapter for Oracle Applications is also informally known as Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter
Adapters provide the following types of services to facilitate communication between applications:
- Request-Response (Outbound Interaction) Service
- Event Notification (Inbound Interaction) Service
- Metadata Service
The request-response service, also known as J2CA outbound interaction,
and the event-notification service, also known as J2CA inbound interaction,
are described in J2CA binding configuration files.
The run-time connection parameters are specified in theweblogic-ra.xmlfile and linked to a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name, which is specified during design time.
Oracle technology adapters are deployed in the J2CA container of the Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle Fusion Middleware integrates with these J2CA 1.5 adapters through the JCA Binding Component, which converts Web service messages into J2CA interactions and back.
