Java on the Mainframe, or SOA?
|
In some circles, "mainframe modernization" is a code word for migrating applications onto other platforms. But for those organizations that continue to value the mainframe qualities of stability and reliability, the big question is how best to modernize mainframe applications that need to be better integrated with the rest of the organization's enterprise architecture.
One of the approaches IBM has held out is the ability to support applications written in Java on the mainframe, as part of the WebSphere middleware architecture. Another alternative I hear a lot about is taking existing mainframe applications or specific CICS transactions that can be treated as software components and exposing a web services interface so they can be treated as part of an enterprise's Service Oriented Architecture.
