To identify the role of adapters in any of the contexts of application integration, we need to understand the different integration scenarios, sometimes referred to as integration patterns or integration use cases. Regardless of the term used to define the specific integration scenario, the role of the adapter depends on some basic parameters, which are explained in this section. We begin by identifying the most common application architectures or models that you will come across when solving the integration problem. The application models enable you to identify the appropriate points of integration and the challenges in designing the adapters.
