Integration application building tool

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• computer-readable storage medium storing:
• an adapter data file storing adapter data corresponding to a plurality of adapters for respective enterprise applications, where an adapter for a given enterprise application comprises:
• a publisher module comprising computer code configured to i) capture respective messages from the enterprise application and ii) publish the respective captured messages to a respective topic in the messaging system, and
• a subscriber module comprising computer code configured to i) receive, from the messaging system, messages published to a topic to which the enterprise application subscribes and ii) communicate the received messages to the enterprise application;
• a flow data file storing flow data corresponding to a plurality of flows, where each flow is mapped to a message topic and defines a publisher application that publishes messages to the topic and at least one subscriber application that subscribes to the topic;
• compiler logic configured to cause the processor to, in response to a request to integrate a selected enterprise application into an enterprise system that includes one other enterprise application:
• receive a first message topic subscribed to by the selected enterprise application and a second message topic published to by the selected enterprise application;
• and
• generate an adapter application for the selected enterprise application by:
• selecting, from the adapter data file, an adapter for the selected enterprise application;
• identifying, in the flow data file, a first flow associated with the first message topic that defines the selected enterprise application as the subscriber application;
• configuring the subscriber module to subscribe to the first message topic;
• identifying, in the flow data file, a second flow associated with the second message topic that defines the selected enterprise application as the publisher application;
• and
• configuring the publisher module to publish to the second message topic.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• providing, on a computer-readable storage medium, an adapter data file storing adapter data corresponding to a plurality of adapters for respective enterprise applications, where an adapter for a given enterprise application comprises:
• a publisher module comprising computer code configured to i) capture respective messages from the enterprise application and ii) publish the respective captured messages to a respective topic in the messaging system, and
• a subscriber module comprising computer code configured to i) receive, from the messaging system, messages published to a topic to which the enterprise application subscribes and ii) communicate the received messages to the enterprise application;
• providing, on the computer-readable storage medium, a flow data file storing flow data corresponding to a plurality of flows where each flow is mapped to a message topic and defines a publisher application that publishes messages to the topic and at least one subscriber application that subscribes to the topic;
• in response to a request to integrate a selected enterprise application into an enterprise system that includes one other enterprise application:
• receiving a first message topic subscribed to by the selected enterprise application and a second message topic published to by the selected enterprise application;
• and
• generating an adapter application for the selected enterprise application by:
• selecting, from the adapter data file, an adapter for the selected enterprise application;
• identifying, in the flow data file, a first flow associated with the first message topic that defines the selected enterprise application as the subscriber application;
• configuring the subscriber module to subscribe to the first message topic;
• identifying, in the flow data file, a second flow associated with the second message topic that defines the selected enterprise application as the publisher application;
• and
• configuring the publisher module to publish to the second message topic.
