Channel Adapter
Channel adapters are message endpoints which provide one-way integration. Broadly it can be categorized as:
- Source adapter / Inbound adapter – These adapters move information from some external source into an application as illustrated in Figure 22-9 below.
Figure 22-9. Source / Inbound adapter
- Target adapter / Outbound adapter – These adapters move information out of a system to some target location as illustrated in Figure 22-10 below.
