Read only?  Full CRUD?

If you still want the result in EOs, then you need to write an EOF adaptor 
(e.g. like the JDBCAdaptor and the JNDIAdaptor).  That is going to be a good 
bit of work.  Maybe a lot of work.  They want to replace what EOF does with an 
HTTP service that will (most probably) be slower.  Unless you are using D2W, 
you might find that something other than WO is a better option.

If you just want dictionaries of read-only data, that can be considerably 
easier.
