Custom Adapters (ADK)

With the X4 ADK, you can develop your own adapters within adapter projects in order to integrate third-party systems into processes. Implementing your own adapters is an easy way of integrating various applications into the X4 BPMS and extending its range of functions. 

To use the adapter development kit of the X4 BPMS, an ADK license is required.

How can I use the X4 Adapter Development Kit?

For this purpose, X4 BPMS provides a framework that simplifies adapter development in many ways. This documentation provides an overview of the adapter development framework (ADK) and explains the procedure for developing your own adapters.

Features of the X4 ADK are:

• Arbitrary extensibility of the X4 ESB
• Simple creation and integration of own adapters
• Use of already existing functionalities in technical processes

What prior knowledge is useful?

This documentation is intended for Java developers who want to develop project or system-specific adapters for the X4 BPMS. Java knowledge in the JEE application development, basic knowledge about XML, XSLT and XPath and especially detailed technical knowledge of the data and the workflows are important requirements for this purpose.
