Adapters

Adapters are used to map WebSphere MQ Everyplace to device interfaces. Channels exploit the protocol adapters to run over HTTP, native TCP/IP, UDP, and other protocols. Similarly, queues exploit field storage adapters to interface to a storage subsystem such as memory or the file system. Adapters provide a mechanism for WebSphere MQ Everyplace to extend its device support and allow version control. Unlike the WebSphere MQ Everyplace Java codebase, the C codebase uses the HTTP adapter only.
