Romain, all There is an assembler demo SOA application that is installed with z390 which illustrates how a main program calling to service routines can be run as statically linked program or can automatically regenerated as an SOA client server application just using TCP/IP sockets. The generated client and server programs can be run on any two processors that share access to a TCP/IP network and support J2RE Java runtime 1.5.0+.
Download and install z390 with Installshield for Windows or file zip for Linux and look in the readme z390\soa directory. All the sources for the demo application and the macro based generator are in the z390\soa demo and maclib directories. There is a z390 SOA User Gudie on the www.z390.org website here: http://www.automatedsoftwaretools.com/z390/z390_Service_Oriented_Architectu re_Support.htm z390 is an open source Java J2RE based tool so you can view all the Java code that supports the TCPIO svc for TCP/IP client and server sockets in the z390\src\sz390.java support module. To use such a TCP/IP sockets solution, your COBOL client could call a z390 assembler client via JNI or other existing interface or it could use an existing sockets interface following similiar approach. Note the current v1.3.01 version of z390 from www.z390.org only supports single connection to z390 server application, but the next release with PTF 554 will support multiple client connections to z390 server. Following the recent SHARE session 2845 on z390 portable mainframe assembler and emulator, there was interest in running z390 on Linux/390 for similar purpose of connecting applications in COBOL and assembler across different OS's and platforms using open source standard interfaces.

Does we need Websphere softwares or not... Thanks a lot in advance for your advices, Romain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
