Protocol Adapters

Identifier:
org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.core.internalProtocolAdapters

Since:
This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Description:
This extension point is used to provide an adapter for a new protocol (e.g. HTTP). This allows different types of protocols to be monitored in a specific way.

Examples:
The following is an example of a protocol adapter extension point to define a protocol adapter for TCP/IP:

   <extension 
         point="org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.core.protocolAdapters">
      <protocolAdapter
            id="TCPIP"
            class="com.example.TCPIPProtocolAdapter"
            name="%TCPIP"/>
   </extension>
