Research on the Integration Patterns of the Integration Adapters Based on the Software Architectures
基于软件体系结构的集成适配器集成模式研究

Integration adapter is the key component in distributed application integrations. Currently, the most parts of integration functions are accomplished in integration adapters, such as connecting, accessing, transformation between distributed applications. Though integration adapter plays an important role in distributed application integrations, the systematic research on integration adapter is still shortage. Based on the past investigating and analyzing the existing adapters, we systematically explain the basic characteristics of integration adapters and summarize the categorization of integration adapters from several different views, further more present adapter integration patterns. The research of adapter integration patterns can serve the common emerging integration scenarios by adopting the different integration patterns and help to decide the scope where each adapter should be applied. At last, we illustrate how to utilize the adapter integration patterns to resolve the integration problem by using the resource adapter.
