Transoft Intelligent Adapters enable core applications, written in older languages such as COBOL, RPG, C, BASIC, and others, to connect directly to newer applications using the same standards that these modern programs use to communicate with each other, for example, Web services or COM, Java/EJB, CORBA, XML or ODBC/JDBC.
There are three types of Transoft Component Adapters:

Transoft Data Component Adapters provide re-usable SQL services, with services based interfaces direct to your relational and non-relational data.
Transoft Screen Component Adapters provide a fast to implement, non-intrusive means of connecting to terminal-based application "screens-flows" to provide component-based services. These adapters give all the advantages of component architectures, including performance and scalability, without the disadvantages of traditional screen scraping.
Transoft Language Component Adapters allow you to simply and quickly transform existing business rules and logic code into high-performance re-usable Web or application services that can be integrated into new applications or enterprise application servers.
The services delivered by the adapters can be accessed via a wide range of Web services and standards-based connectors, including:

Web services (SOAP/XML)
Natively with WSDL
Natively with SOAP for Java proxy
Via J2EE proxy
Via C# .NET proxy
COM/DCOM
Microsoft .NET
Java Beans and JCA connectivity to Application Servers (WebSphere, WebLogic, etc.)
CORBA IDL
XML (non-SOAP)
At the core of the Transoft Component Adapters is the Transoft Component Broker that ensures automatic load balancing for optimum performance and scalability, which is essential to e-business applications.
