About this task

Step 2 towards the goal: Using optimized local adapters for outbound support

A resource adapter archive (RAR) file, ola.rar, is provided for applications to use the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.5 programming model for connecting to and calling native language external server programs. Read the topic, Using the optimized local adapter to call an application in an external address space from a WebSphere application for more information about how to accomplish this.

If you are calling from a Cobol or C/C++ program, you might want to use the IBM® Rational® Application Developer assembly tools, such as Rational® Application Developer, to create a Java class with getter and setter helper methods that correspond to the Cobol copybook or C/C++ structure. These methods help convert binary form to Java objects. The Java 2 Connector (J2C) tools in Rational Application Developer can be used to accomplish this conversion. Read about assembly tools for more information about tooling support for WebSphere Application Server applications.
