Hi,


We need an architecture for a e business application that act as a warpper web application over an existing mainframe (IBM 3270 - Pcom) system.

We are looking for different choices available prefreably opensource.We need to build a web application over over an existing mainframe (IBM 3270 - Pcom) system.

We are looking for different choices (best and cost effective) available preferably in open source.
We have read that JCA and web services are the solutions. But no idea about the components to be installed on mainframe as well as in application sever.


Please advice us on the following:

How do we integrate between a J2EE web application and IBM 3270 ? We would require database level, procedure level and UI level integrations.
How does JBOSS support such a requirement ?
Please mention some best practices and resources we can refer to ?



Thanks
