The service platform provides service adapters to invoke different types of services.

By using the following service adapters, you can flexibly build a system, and effectively utilize data of the existing system as a service component:

• SOAP adapter for using Web services (SOAP communication)
• SessionBean adapter for using SessionBean
• MDB (WS-R) adapter to invoke service components created with MDB by using WS-R
• MDB (DBqueue) adapter to invoke asynchronous service components by using DB queue
• DB adapter for using database as a service component
• TP1 adapter for using the system on OpenTP1 and XDM/DCCM3
• File adapter for using the business processing system that uses files
• Object Access adapter for using mission critical systems such as Mainframe
• Message Queue adapter to send and receive messages for the existing message queue (IBM WebSphere MQ system)
• FTP adapter to transfer files by connecting to an FTP server
• File operations adapter for converting, duplicating , and deleting file formats
• Mail adapter for using the mail server that supports SMTP protocol on the service platform
• HTTP adapter for using Web services (RESTful Web Services) published in resources and REST style on the Web server
• Custom adapters to invoke services by connecting to systems with protocols not directly supported by the above mentioned service adapters provided in the service platform
