Integrating 3270 applications with a SOA
Currently I'm working on the implementation of a kind of service oriented architecture, with the challenge (isn't it the right way of calling it) of integrating a bunch of 3270 applications -about 2K green screens-.
The solution design we are working on is consuming the 3270 screen on a middleware (BizTalk 2004) via XML. For the translation between the 3270 maps and XML we are considering a couple of tools, OnWeb and myEXTRA!
A curious mix between old and new fashion.
