Introduction

LegStar for JBoss ESB is an open-source integration solution for IBM mainframes designed for JBoss ESB, an open-source Enterprise Service Bus based on SOA principles.

LegStar for JBoss ESB is based on LegStar, an open-source solution for COBOL and IBM mainframe integration. LegStar offers tools to bind COBOL structures to XML schema and Java. It also offers transports to, and from, IBM mainframes.

LegStar for JBoss ESB provides tools to adapt mainframe programs as ESB services but it also allows mainframe programs to invoke ESB Services, Web Services or POJOs. These tools generate all the necessary JBoss ESB artifacts for COBOL binding.
