• PIX/PDQ Manager: A group of applications that address integration issues specific to sharing healthcare information based on the guidelines put forth by Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). The applications form a specialized implementation of HL7 messaging that facilitates the creation of an Information Health Exchange.

• HL7 Binding Component: A binding component that allows GlassFish ESB application to establish and maintain connections with HL7 v2 messaging systems, manage message enveloping and routing, and perform message validations.

• COBOL Copybook Encoder: A fixed-length field-based encoder that provides the tools you need to define and test COBOL Copybook encoders as well as provide runtime support for the encoders.

• Email Binding Component: A binding component that supports configuration and connection to email servers within a JBI environment, allowing emails to be sent from and received by a JBI application.

• REST Binding Component: A binding component that provides external connectivity for REST over HTTP from JBI applications, which allows external systems to invoke RESTful web services hosted by the JBI platform and allows JBI components to invoke external RESTful web services.

• POJO Service Engine: A service engine that allows you to define business logic in Java (as Plain Old Java Objects) and then deploy those business objects in a JBI component, providing a simple and flexible method for using Java in integration applications.

• Worklist Manager Service Engine: A service engine that allows you to define manual tasks to be inserted into an otherwise automated workflow, such as a BPEL process, and to then manage and monitor the handling of any generated tasks.

• BPEL Monitor: A monitoring tool for the BPEL Service Engine's application and processes that provides a comprehensive view of active applications in real-time, allowing you to quickly ascertain the health of the system.
