This topic describes the ConnectionSpec and the connection instance properties that affect outbound processing for the WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files.
When using the Common Client Interface (CCI) to interact with an EIS file system, the adapter must establish a connection using the ConnectionFactory. The Connection object represents the actual connection to the back-end EIS file system and is used for subsequent interactions, such as creating, setting, and sending business objects.
Note that the values of these properties are not configured by the user via the WebSphere Process Server administrative console, but rather are passed by the client connection via the adapter’s CCI record. This interface allows a J2EE-based application to connect to and access the back-end file system. The client interface manages the flow of data between the client application and the back-end system and does not have any visibility into what either the container or the application server are doing with the adapter.
ConnectionSpec properties
