Creating the adapter project in WebSphere Integration Developer

Use WebSphere® Integration Developer to create a connector project and add the resource adapter archive (RAR) file to the project. Importing the RAR file automatically creates a new J2EE connector project for the adapter in your workspace in WebSphere Integration Developer.

About this task

Note: If you have already created the adapter project, you do not need to do it again. You can prepare your workspace by deleting any files created during a previous tutorial.

How to perform this task

  1. In WebSphere Integration Developer, 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.

    3. If you see the Confirm Enablement window, select Always enable capabilities and don't ask me again.
    4. Click OK.
  2. Import the RAR file by right-clicking Connector Projects and clicking Import > RAR file.

  3. Find the RAR file on your local file system by clicking Browse and navigating to the directory where the Adapter for Flat Files was installed. If you chose the default path when installing the adapter, use the following directory path: C:\Program Files\IBM\ResourceAdapters\FlatFile\adapter\FlatFile\deploy.
  4. Accept the default setting (CWYFF_FlatFile) for Connector project.

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

    Note: If a project named CWYFF_FlatFile already exists in this workspace, the name in the Connector project field has a number appended to it (for example, CWYFF_FlatFile1).
  5. 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.

  6. Clear the Add module to an EAR project check box.
    Note: The EAR project field becomes unavailable after you remove the check mark.

  7. Click Finish.

Result

A new J2EE connector project, named CWYFF_FlatFile, appears in the project explorer and is created in your WebSphere Integration Developer workspace.
