G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717137, 717139, 707811

Abstract:

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to configure an adapter such that the adapter is specific to a data source, provides a communication link to the data source, converts a format of the data source to a format native to a middleware system, and converts a format of metadata of the data source to a standard metadata format. Further, the computer is caused to configure an application interface component to convert an invocation of a function in the middleware system to an invocation of a function provided by an Enterprise Information System through the adapter, convert the data format of the middleware system to a format native to the Enterprise Information System accessed through the adapter, and maintain metadata describing a message format and a function provided by the adapter.

Abstract:

A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to provide a data interface between an adapter component and one or more application interface components for a runtime application. Further, the computer is caused to establish a cursor that iterates over a plurality of data objects within a data set of the runtime application. In addition, the computer is caused to establish an accessor that provides access to a data element of the data object. The computer is also caused to provide the cursor and the accessor to the adapter component so that the adapter component accesses data through the one or more application interface components of the runtime application.
