JBOSS integration with CICS/SNA (mainframe applications)

[jeduardofn]

I would like to know how JBoss AS supports application integration with a SNA (IBM protocol) architecture, so we can build J2EE app that exchange data with a mainframe app over a SNA protocol.

With SUN AS (iPlanet) this is acomplished by the iPlanet Connector for CICS, but we are considering using JBoss.

Thanks,

Perhaps IBM offers a generic JCA (resource adaptor) solution? You could integrate this with JBoss.

You might have some luck with the .rar described here:

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/services/downloads/websphere_cics.pdf

Refer to it:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=DSdotXML

to deploy it.

.rar files are supposedly generic, so you might be able to plug it into JBoss. Where you get the .rar I don't know.
