The IBM® WebSphere® Adapter for Flat Files facilitates the exchange of business data in the form of delimited records in the event file between file systems and J2EE applications. The adapter supports inbound and outbound operations and the use of business objects, business components, and business services.
The adapter, which is embedded within the application server run time, facilitates communication between an enterprise information file system and various intelligent programs called endpoints. To keep track of endpoints and status, the adapter maintains an event store.
The following figure shows the adapter architecture. Arrows represent the processing flow for both inbound and outbound operations.
