AA: CICS Integration using Web Services

Abstract:

CICS TS 3.1 provides tooling and runtime changes to enable you to implement Web services directly in CICS. These changes build upon the SOAP for CICS feature, which was available in CICS TS V2, but now the support is fully incorporated into CICS. There are tools provided to assist you in preparing existing application programs to become Web services and also to assist with starting from WSDL and implementing a program in CICS which can act as the Web service as defined in the WSDL. This presentation explains the tooling provided and how it can be used. It also explains the runtime support for Web services.

I joined IBM in 1997 straight from university. For my entire 10 years in IBM I have been part of the CICS level 3 service team. The areas of CICS I primarily focus on are; CICS Web Services, Web Support, 3270 Web Bridge, Sockets, Java and EJBs. I was part of the team that wrote the redbook "Architecting Access to CICS within an SOA" and its predecessor "Architecting Web Access to CICS".
