HP OpenVMS Application Modernization and Integration Infrastructure Package, Version 2.2

Software Product Description

XML Technology

To give applications the ability to parse, generate, manipulate, validate, and transform Extensible Markup

Language (XML) documents and data, the following components are provided using open source

software from the Apache Software Foundation:

• An XML parser in Java and C++

• An XSLT stylesheet processor in Java and C++

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Toolkit

SOAP provides a simple, lightweight mechanism for exchanging structured and typed information

between peers in a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP is an XML-based protocol that consists

of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing the contents of a message and how to

process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing application-defined datatypes, and a convention for

representing remote procedure calls and responses. SOAP defines a simple mechanism for expressing

application semantics that allows SOAP to be used in a wide variety of systems.

The SOAP Toolkit is Java based and provides development tools to create SOAP clients or to implement

server-side SOAP accessible services that use HTTP as the transport protocol. As a client library, it

provides the ability to invoke SOAP RPC services available elsewhere, in addition to features for sending

and receiving SOAP messages. As a mechanism to write new RPC or message accessible services, it

requires a Java servlet run-time environment such as that provided by Tomcat in conjunction with the

Secure Web Server.

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Client Toolkit

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is the service discovery protocol for Web

Services. UDDI is the building block which enables businesses to quickly, easily and dynamically

discover each other, define how they interact over the Internet, and share information in a global registry

architecture. UDDI is a comprehensive, open industry initiative.

The UDDI Client Toolkit is based on the UDDI4J open source implementation and provides a Java class

library that provides an API to interact with a UDDI registry.

Web Services Integration Toolkit (WSIT)

The Web Service Integration Toolkit (WSIT) contains a collection of integration tools. These tools are

easy to use, highly extensible, based on standards, and built on open source technology. The toolkit can

be used to call OpenVMS applications written in 3GL languages, such as C, BASIC, COBOL,

FORTRAN, and ACMS from newer technologies and languages such as Java, Microsoft .NET,

Java-RMI, JMS, and Web Services.

The Web Service Integration Toolkit is focused on integrating at the application interface (API) level.

WSIT generates a JavaBean wrapper for a supplied OpenVMS API. At runtime, you can specify if the

application will be run in the process of the caller (in-process) or in separate processes (out-of-process)

managed by the WSIT runtime

Distributed NetBeans

Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS facilitates easy and transparent development of applications for

deployment on OpenVMS system using the NetBeans IDE on your desktop system of choice, such as

Windows or Linux. In addition, Distributed NetBeans provides the following plug-in modules: C/C++,

FORTRAN, COBOL, and Pascal compiler support, and MMS, BASH, DCL, CMS, and EDT Keypad

support.

Distributed NetBeans is comprised of two parts:
