Regarding "legacy code", I find that the starting point for CICS customers
is that they have a body of code which is doing a good job and they have an
effective development organisation which can keep that code in step with
the needs of the business. There is usually no "legacy" connotation of
something having died leaving this code behind.
But this code also needs to be reused to enable new products or new
channels to market, so these customers want good ways to integrate it into
other developments. My concept of re-usable components therefore fully
embraces this sort of wrappering. Wrappering is not a poor cousin of real
component software.
