WebFacing interoperability with HATS applications

The interoperability features between WebFacing and HATS provide the ability to combine WebFacing applications with 5250 dynamic data stream transformations using HATS, within the same Web application.

Interoperability, in this context, means that a single WebFacing Web application interoperates with, or works along side, a single HATS application. The combined Web application has the capabilities of both tools, with some limitations, but the capabilities are cleanly separated within the Web application. To create a combined Web application, a single WebFacing Web project (with the project type HATS/WebFacing enabled project) is linked with a single HATS project and packaged into a single enterprise application, or .ear file. This enterprise application contains the runtimes of both products, along with a common runtime component that is used to create and interact with a shared connection to the 5250 backend host.
