Shadow adapter technology simplifies access to mainframe resources, allowing Java developers to use industry standard APIs such as Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) or Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Connector Architecture (J2CA) to assemble and integrate applications.
Shadow IDBC Connect and Shadow J2CA Connect enterprise-class adapters provide developers with a J2EE compatible solution for accessing a broad range of mainframe data (Adabas, DB2, IMSIDB, VSAM), applications (CICSITS and IMSITM) and programs (Natural, MDI RSPS), without sacrificing the performance characteristics of the mainframe.
