Hopefully I won't incur Bobbee's wrath by plugging products here, but take a look at (yes you've guessed it) CommerceQuest's CICS Process Integrator (CPI) or Business Process Manager for CICS (BPM4CICS) as it's now called. From an incoming MQ (or http or tcpip) message it can drive exisitng CICS programs using the commarea or by driving 3270 screens. It can also access CICS VSAM and DB2 data directly. Effectively it web-services enables existing CICS applications.
