WebSphere Adapter for Email

Creating the adapter project

To begin the process of creating a module to communicate with an Email service, you create an adapter project. The adapter project contains the adapter itself plus other related artifacts. You create the project by importing the RAR file, which was copied to your local file system during installation, into WebSphere® Integration Developer.

About this task

To create an adapter project, use the following procedure.

How to perform this task

  1. Launch WebSphere Integration Developer by clicking Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Integration Developer 6.0.
  2. If you are prompted to specify a workspace, accept the default value.

    The workspace is a directory where WebSphere Integration Developer stores your project.

  3. When the WebSphere Integration Developer window is displayed, close the Welcome page.
  4. Switch to the J2EE perspective:
    1. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other.
    2. Click J2EE.

      If J2EE is not displayed, select the Show all check box, click J2EE, and click OK.

  7. Accept the default setting (CWYEM_Email.rar) for Connector project.

    The connector project has the same name as the RAR file.

  8. Accept the default value in the Target server field.

    The default value is the test environment for WebSphere Process Server, which is installed as part of WebSphere Integration Developer.

  9. Clear the Add module to an EAR project check box.

    Notice that the EAR project field becomes unavailable after you remove the check mark.

  10. Click Finish.

Result

The RAR file is imported and a connector project is created. The connector project is visible in the Project Explorer window under Connector Projects.
