This topic describes how WebSphere® Adapter for Flat Files works.
The IBM® WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files is a JCA 1.5 specification compliant J2EE component, that enables bidirectional connectivity and access to files in an Enterprise Information System (EIS) file system. The adapter essentially allows J2EE clients access to any backend EIS applications that communicate only through files. The EIS file system can be the local file system mounted on the operating system on which the adapter runs or it may also be a mapped drive which is accessible from the local file system.
The events and responses are captured as files on the file system. The event files can be sent to an endpoint configured to receive the events. The requests can be initiated from any J2EE client and results in a response returned to the client after the request is processed.
