Hi,
I have a situation whereby I need Netweaver PI to send messages to an external system via a Java API provided by the system vendor. Behind the scenes the Java API uses JMS for the actual communication but we have been instructed by the vendor that we should not attempt to use JMS directly for various reasons.
I am thinking that a custom adapter which wraps the Java API would be the most appropriate solution for this scenario. Never having written an adapter before, I'm curious if this is a good idea?
If it is a good idea, a follow-up question would be : Is writing an adapter generally considered to be a difficult/time-consuming task or should it not be much more complicated than writing, for example, a java message mapper? I've looked at the sample adapter code and it looks a bit overwhelming.
Thanks,
Steve
