The JCA specification was created in order to establish a standardized mechanism for integrating Java-based applications with heterogeneous enterprise information assets. iWay has implemented JCA in such a way that your developers need only learn a single Java API for accessing all of your enterprise information systems (EISs) through our adapters. This translates to quicker development times, fewer skill sets to manage, and significantly reduced maintenance overhead. Our JCA adapter is the bridge to the last mile of your integration efforts.

Support for More Than 300 EISs

iWay's JCA Adapter provides access to over 300 intelligent adapters, allowing you to integrate your J2EE™ applications with your enterprise information systems, all within the iWay Universal Adapter Suite. iWay provides intelligent adapters for:

• Application packages such as Siebel, SAP, PeopleSoft, Ariba, Lawson, Clarify, and many more
• E-business formats such as SWIFT, FIX, HIPAA, ebXML, and OAG BOD
• Legacy database systems such as Adabas, Ingres, MUMPS, Teradata, IMS, and many others
• Relational databases such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, Informix, Sybase, and many more
• Transaction environments such as CICS, IMS/TM, and Tuxedo
• 35 mainframe, midrange, UNIX, and PC operating platforms
• Custom 3GL and 4GL applications
• .NET Assemblies
• Messaging products like Sonic MQ, Oracle AQ, WebSphere MQ, and JMS™
• Object technologies like COM, CORBA, and EJB™
• Terminal emulation adapters that provide wrappers around the presentation tiers of applications of green-screen 3270 and 5250 systems

Bidirectional Outbound/Inbound Use

iWay adapters can be used to invoke business functionality from your enterprise information systems. This includes SQL requests to relational and nonrelational data stores as well as calls to applications like SAP and Siebel. iWay adapters work with many messaging technologies like Sonic MQ, WebSphere MQ, and Oracle AQ and has a native JMS interface. This enables you to augment your asynchronous messaging systems with iWay-enabled systems access.

Full Support for JCA 1.5 Specification

The JCA 1.5 Specification defines a common client interface (CCI) for accessing heterogeneous EISs. Just as JDBC has successfully standardized Java-based access to relational database structure, so has JCA for non-database EISs. The CCI enables a common set of remote function call interfaces that define communication with an EIS, creating a single generalized abstraction of a system's interface. iWay has implemented CCI in such a way that your developers need only learn a single Java API for accessing all of your EISs through our adapters. This translates to quicker development times, fewer skill sets to manage, and significantly reduced maintenance overhead.

Additionally, iWay's Intelligent Adapter for JCA supports all 1.5 standards:

Transaction management
• Connection management
• Security management
• Lifecycle management
• Work management
• Message inflow
• Transaction inflow

  iWay is committed to maintaining a leadership role as the No. 1 provider of J2EE adapters. A member of the Java Community Process (JCP), iWay is involved in the creation of the JCA specification, ensuring that our software will evolve with the needs of the Java community. iWay's JCA Adapter offers full support for vendor-proprietary J2EE JCA extensions.
