True or false? Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is only for distributed
platforms.
False. Just look at the latest versions of IBM transaction servers,
such as CICS, to see how these servers have embraced Web service architecture.
The challenge is how to implement this new architecture
using the existing mainframe IT infrastructure, assets, and legacy
applications.
This complimentary kit for mainframe developers is a practical, how-to guide for
making the most of an existing development environment, including the skills and
infrastructure already in place at an established enterprise.
