Remote connector overview
Connectors can run locally (on the same host as your application) or remotely (on a host that is remote to your application). Connectors that run remotely require a connector server, running on the same host as the connector. Applications access the connector implementation through the connector server.
|
The ICF framework can support both local and remote connector implementations simultaneously. |
Connector servers also let you run connector bundles that are written in C# on a .NET platform, and to access them over the network from a Java or .NET application.
The following image shows a high-level overview of an ICF deployment, including a remote connector server.
For more information about connector servers, and how to use them in your application, refer to Remote connectors.
