Enterprise metadata implementation
Selection of artifact types
WebSphere adapters can run against multiple brokers (server runtimes).
Each broker might require different types of artifacts. The adapter foundation
classes can generate artifacts in support of multiple brokers.
The following artifact types are supported by adapter foundation classes:
1. Data Bindings
2. Generated Records
3. Generic Records
The table below provides a matrix for artifact type and their supported server
runtimes.
While running the external service discovery wizard, adapter users can choose
which artifact to generate depending on their runtime environment. Users can
select more than one artifact.
