Jbi4Cics Binding Component

Jbi4Cics is a JBI compliant Binding Component.
It allows to map a CICS ECI service as an internal JBI endpoint.
This is simply done by deploying into a JBI ESB a service unit containing the CICS ECI service's copy cobol, no coding is required.
Having an internal JBI endpoint opens a wide spectrum of possibilities because the endpoint can partecipate to the message streams and the orchestrations that take place inside the ESB.
For example the endpoint could be externally exposed as a SOAP/HTTP Webservice.
Jbi4Cics is being developed by Imola Informatica s.r.l.

It has been developed also a plugin for Netbeans Jbi4CicsPlugin that allows a full integration of the component with OpenESB. The plugin has been realized over NetBeans IDE 5.5 and NetBeans IDE 6, with the Enterprise Pack installed.

For more informations about the Jbi4Cics component see the Documentation.

For more informations about the Jbi4Cics plugin see the NetBeans plugin.
