Abstract
Techniques for integrating Information Systems with Application Servers are disclosed. The techniques can be used to implement a configurable connector interface that connects to existing interfaces used to access various Information Systems. The configurable connection interface can encapsulate these existing interfaces. Accordingly, the configurable connector interface can serve as a standard interface that can be used to connect an application server to various Information Systems. The configurable connection interface can be implemented as a “Resource Adaptor” that can be modified to fit the requirements of a particular existing interface used to access a particular information system (e.g., a database driver developed for a particular relational database). A Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be used to conveniently modify and deploy the modified Resource Adaptor file. These operations can conveniently be performed by using a deployment tool through a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
