About the JDBC/ODBC Adapter

The JDBC/ODBC Adapter enables the Sun Java CAPS ESB system to exchange data with external databases. Sun Java CAPS ESB contains many database Adapters. You should use those Adapters to interface with the databases they support. The JDBC/ODBC Adapter should only be used when you have a driver or a database that is not supported by those Adapters.

The JDBC/ODBC Adapter uses Java Collaborations to interact with one or more external databases. By using a Java Collaboration Service it is possible for Sun Java CAPS ESB components such as Adapters to connect to external databases and execute business rules.
