COBOL and Java/J2EE integration

Micro Focus COBOL Technology includes a high-performance, robust, proven and portable platform for the deployment of COBOL applications on Windows, UNIX and Linux. Using our J2EE Connector capabilities, COBOL components can be accessed in a J2EE-compliant manner from Java application servers such as IBM WebSphere®, Oracle® Application Server, JBoss and BEA WebLogic

Micro Focus Professional Services can integrate your COBOL application with Java/J2EE by undertaking a project through assessment, pilot, build, testing and deployment stages based on your specific business objectives. Alternatively we can enable your development team to do the job themselves:
