Paper Abstract:
|
There exists a gap between e-commerce infrastructure and mainframe that prohibits Internet technology
from improving business efficiency. With the e-commerce revolution, it has become essential for
enterprises to provide Web access to mainframe systems to extend their scope to a larger, nomadic
population of users. It is unrealistic to rebuild and replace the mainframe infrastructure due to high cost
and time-to-market delays. Therefore, interfacing with them becomes a valuable option. Currently, these
interfaces are available in the form of web terminal emulators and screen scrapers but are limited in
terms of scalability, functionality, security and usability. In this paper, a generic middleware is
introduced that serves as a gateway to integrate the e-business infrastructure and the mainframe systems
seamlessly. The architecture, design, and implementation of the gateway are discussed. |
