Converter Services

This chapter details the cooperative flows between generated clients and servers implemented in different languages. These include:

CA Gen MFC GUI Clients as well as CA Gen C and COM Proxy Clients to CA Gen EJB Servers using either of the following:
- The CFB Server—The CFB Server is a Java program that can run on any Java Platform in the network. Client systems connect to the CFB Server, which converts the client request into a Java RMI call.
  The CFB Server requires only a small change to the COMMCFG.INI file on the client system. For more details, see Configuring the CFB Server.
- The C to Java RMI Coopflow—The C to Java RMI Coopflow is a software component that performs the conversion and Java RMI call on the Windows system. This facility is easier to configure, but may be difficult to manage for a large number of client systems.
  The client system must have a Java Virtual Machine installed, plus additional files from the target application server and target EJBs.
CA Gen EJB Servers to CA Gen C and COBOL Servers using any of the supported cooperative flows.
