Abstract
In an example embodiment, a system manages adapters and connectors used to integrate software applications. The example system includes a repository of connectors, where each connector includes one or more integration adapters. A connector generator communicating with the repository of connectors is adapted to selectively generate one or more connectors in response to detection of an event for which a corresponding connector is not found in the repository of connectors. In a more specific example embodiment, the connector generator is adapted to implement one or more generated connectors as a web service. The connector generator may be constructed in accordance with an Application Integration Architecture (AIA) integration framework. Additional tools are provided for monitoring connector runtime information and receiving and logging user feedback pertaining to connectors.
