YY, If you're programming using EPI in WebSphere Application Server with CICS Transaction Gateway, you may want to refer to the EPI sample code included with CTG. I'm copying this section of the CICS Transaction Gateway V7.1 InfoCenter for reference:
- - - - - The EPI Sample consists of a stateful session bean, a client application, a custom record which demonstrates the use of the Screenable interface, and a custom LogonLogoff class.The following files are part of the EPI Sample: EPIPlayScript.java Enterprise bean remote interface EPIPlayScriptHome.java Enterprise bean home interface EPIPlayScriptBean.java Enterprise bean implementation EPIPlayScriptClient.java Enterprise bean client program CICSCESNLogon.java A LogonLogoff class Ejb-jar-epi-1.1.xml Example of a deployment descriptor - - - - - These samples will be either in the "samples" directory (wherever you install CTG, including z/OS zFS or HFS) or in the "deployable" directory (for WebSphere Application Server EAR-deployable samples). Note that there are multiple ways to connect WebSphere Application Server to CICS Transaction Server, and CICS Transaction Gateway is but one of them. Also please bear in mind that EPI connections are problematic in certain deployment situations. In general, if you are using CTG, if you can move to IPIC or at least ECI you're probably going to end up with a more robust solution. (IPIC supports several new things that ECI doesn't, such as channels and containers for accessing >32K of CICS application data at a time.) You might also want to ask your questions on the CICS-L mailing list. Hope this helps. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
