Attachmate myEXTRA! Smart Connectors, from the Attachmate Corporation, are now verified on JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM platform) 1.4 to support J2EE platform 1.4 Compatible Application Servers. Attachmate recently debuted the solution at the J2EE platform 1.4 kickoff event aimed at showcasing the J2EE platform 1.4 ecosystem.

Attachmate demonstrated how the myEXTRA! Smart Connectors are capable of functioning as industry-standard interfaces capturing legacy data and transactions, with many uses in modern application development via the J2EE Connector Architecture. The Smart Connectors are designed to deliver comprehensive connectivity to legacy data and business logic.

Smart connectors allow clients to access any legacy resource by providing an array of standard interfaces to legacy data sources and applications. This ensures that the solutions currently being developed will interoperate with those of tomorrow.

"Attachmate's comprehensive set of J2EE-compatible connectors with easy-to-use tools take the complexity of our integrating legacy assets from back-end resources," said Carla Dimond, senior group manager, Market Development for Sun. "Industry-wide adoption of a mature J2EE Connector Architecture specification improves the economics of business integration in favor of customers, by providing increased choice, flexibility and reuse."

"Attachmate Smart Connectors help enterprises implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to granularly access legacy data and business logic and encapsulate it as callable services," stated Markus Nitschke, Attachmate vice president, Corporate Marketing. "This approach makes legacy data and applications reusable and extensible for a broader audience within new application development, and end users benefit from Smart Connector J2EE compatibility."

Attachmate is the industry's only all-mainframe connectivity expert. The company offers technology and services that allow enterprises all over the globe to leverage valuable mainframe investments.
