About Sun Adapter for TCP/IP

The Sun Adapter for TCP/IP (referred to as the TCP/IP Adapter throughout this document) enables the Sun Java CAPS ESB to communicate with client applications using TCP/IP, and provides real-time, reliable data transfer for systems that support TCP/IP.

For details on operating and using Sun Java CAPS ESB and its user interface, see the Java CAPS topics for ESB.

The TCP/IP Adapter allows you to create a client interface to a server or implement a TCP/IP server in eGate, using a Collaboration framework created using the eGate Enterprise Designer. This interface allows your system to communicate via TCP/IP.

The TCP/IP Object Type Definition (OTD) enables the creation of any messaging protocol capable of running over TCP/IP, and also utilizes the common Adapter services available in ESB.

The Adapter also allows you to select a desired message envelope, using predefined envelope types. If these types do not meet your needs, you can customize your own envelope, using specialized Adapter interfaces designed for this purpose.
