What Java CS Does

The Java CS provides services to the connector implementations deployed to it while forcing standardized behavior in the same way that a J2EE application server provides for its hosted applications.

Java CS provides a framework and a standard set of service to ease connector development. Java CS:

• Uses XML files to simplify development and allow uniform configuration of all attributes.
• Enforces standardized representation of data types.
• Enables reuse among connector implementations, thus reducing the time, effort, and risk required to develop new connectors.
