Relationship between WCF LOB Adapter SDK & WCF Channel Model:
-
WCF LOB Adapter SDK is independent of WCF Channel Model
-
WCF Channel Model built on top of WCF LOB Adapter SDK
-
WCF LOB Adapter SDK built on top of WCF Channel Model
-
WCF LOB Adapter SDK part of WCF Channel Model
The WCF LOB Adapter SDK is built on top of the WCF Channel Model, providing a higher-level abstraction for connecting to line-of-business systems. It extends the channel model with metadata discovery and adapter-specific features while using channels as the underlying communication mechanism.
The WCF LOB (Line-of-Business) Adapter SDK is a toolkit built on top of the underlying WCF Channel Model, letting adapter developers create custom WCF bindings and channels for connecting to LOB systems (like SAP or Siebel) without reinventing WCF's core channel infrastructure. It depends on and extends the channel model rather than the other way around, and it isn't a separate, unrelated layer.
