What are the options for a Java system to communicate with a system made in COBOL? Is it possible to use Webservices? If not, JCA would be the best option?

  • Yes, you can use web services. You can also use JCA, you can also communicate via CORBA... The best option is the one that best fits your need and environment, which you have not described.

  • Thanks for the answer. Well, I have a system in Java that registers test results. Every registered exam I need to notify a system made in Cobol, that needs this information to solve other business rules. Basically that’s it. The message queuing scheme would be ideal, but as the system is in Cobol arose the integration doubts.

  • Is there a problem with consuming queues of messages in COBOL? IBM MQ (formerly Websphere MQ), for example, has COBOL-ready libraries for consumption and posts in message queues, and there are more options.

  • Our guy. I didn’t know that. I did a little research and I couldn’t find anything about "IBM MQ" in this context. It was great ;)

  • From Wikipedia: "It was Originally called Mqseries, and was renamed Websphere MQ in 2002 to Join the suite of Websphere products. In April 2014, it was renamed IBM MQ. IBM MQ, (often referred to as "MQ"), is IBM’s Messaging Solution for Enterprise and IBM’s Message Oriented Middleware Offering."

  • Olás! Know some free solution?

  • I found this article very nice: http://www.infoq.com/articles/legacy-integration.
