Adapter Pattern — jamocha

Overview

An adapter wraps a source OSID manager and exposes it through a target OSID interface. Sessions on the source are translated into sessions on the target, and objects are wrapped or transformed as needed. Adapters let you reuse an existing implementation behind a different OSID contract without rewriting business logic.

A common use is bridging a generic resource service to a domain-specific OSID, or presenting a legacy system through a current OSID specification.
