A resource adapter may include modular system management interface for providing an interface between server-provided management services and back-end systems. Enterprise servers may provide management services and may host application components implementing business logic. Back-end systems may provide resources to the application components. The servers may provide services to the back-end systems to enhance efficiency, scalability, and security. Resource adapters interfacing these systems may include service adapter modules to interface between the servers and the back-end systems. For each service that a server provides to a back-end system, the corresponding resource adapter may include a service adapter module installed in the resource adapters modular system management interface. The service adapter module may isolate the code that may interact the service. The modularity may allow the resource adapter to be deployed in heterogeneous enterprise frameworks including J2EE compliant frameworks and non-J2EE compliant frameworks.
