Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention may provide a local process integration component to facilitate process integration. The local process integration component may include an adapter, a process broker and a process broker handler. The process broker may collaborate with the business logic and adapter to perform business-centric integration logic. The architecture is based on is a toolkit and generator approach. For inbound communication, the adapter is responsible for control flow while the process broker handler provides generic services. For outbound communication, the process broker is responsible for control flow while the process broker handler provides generic services. The control flow orchestration is uniformed by code generation.
