A metadata-aware Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) framework for an application server environment. The framework allows the connector writer to connect to a system using a low-level API. The framework provides a space in a connector in which to define high-level functions. Using the framework, the user can mine metadata for the functions and generate a description of each high-level function that can be dropped into the framework and appear as a high-level function invokable through the connector. This high-level function manifestation, when invoked, drives the low-level API provided by the connector. An adaptive layer may wrap a native Common Client Interface (CCI) exposed by a connector to provide an abstract connector that allows a higher-level abstraction of external Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). The adaptive layer may interpret metadata to model an external EIS as a logical data source. The adaptive layer may be referred to as a metadata-aware CCI adapter.

A system and method provides customer support to a user. In one embodiment, it includes providing the user access to a knowledge database for the user to query the knowledge database regarding a support issue. It also provides, in response to the user querying the knowledge database, an interface to the user for the user to enter a service request. Further, it establishes, in response to the user entering the service request, an instant messaging session between the user and a customer support representative.

A method, system, and computer program code for integrating components with different interfaces in an enterprise application integration environment. When an enterprise application is assembled, a user may try to wire a component to another component in the enterprise. However, if the reference on the source component does not match the interface on the target component, the components cannot be wired together. In this situation, the user is prompted to introduce an interface mediation component between the source and target application components. The mediation component comprises an interface matching the reference on the source component and a reference matching the interface on the target component. The mediation component mediates the different interfaces at runtime by binding an operation in the source component to an operation in the target component, and performing a parameter mediation of parameters in the first operation to parameters in the second operation.
