I'm sure IBM is working on it (well, I know they are; they've promised
EJB-to-CICS integration by the end of this year). When it comes, though,
I'd bet that it'll have a Java front-end on top of a whole bunch of weird
and nasty legacy stuff (that's the pattern with ComponentBroker, at least
:-) ).
IBM's evil scheme is to integrate WebSphere and ComponentBroker, with EJBs
residing on top of ComponentBroker and services like CICS underneath
ComponentBroker, being treated as "just another persistent store".
ComponentBroker is definitely weird and complicated, though -- it
generates a lot of C++ under the covers.
Absent that, I know that they've got a Java-to-CICS connectivity package,
but I'm not sure if it's an XA resource or not (that is, I don't know if
it can participate in third-party transactions under a two-phase commit).
