Providing general connector functionality

This chapter presents information on how to implement a connector class, which performs the initialization and setup for the application-specific component of a connector. It also discusses some basic functionality that your connector might need.

Note:
Writing code for the application-specific component is only one part of the overall task for developing a connector. Before you begin to write your application-specific component, you should clearly understand the connector design issues as well as the design of any application-specific business objects. A thorough understanding of the design issues can help you complete the coding task successfully. For information on connector design, refer to Designing a connector.
