Enterprise metadata implementation
Selection of artifact types
WebSphereadapters can run against multiple brokers (server runtimes).
Each broker might require differenttypes of artifacts. The adapter foundation
classes can generate artifacts in support of multiple brokers.
The following artifact types are supported by adapter foundation classes:
1. Data Bindings
Data Binding classes generated by enterprise metadata discovery to support
WebSphereProcess Server runtime.
2. Generated Records
JavaBean records generated from SDO to support clients that work with
JavaBeans.
3. Generic Records
Other DESPI implementations.
The table below provides a matrix for artifact type and their supported server
runtimes.

While running the external service discovery wizard, adapter users can choose
which artifact to generate depending on their runtime environment. Users can
select more than one artifact.
