IBM and Borland International have inked a deal
aimed at advancing the transaction processing
capability of Java-based systems.
Borland announced Java support for Customer
Information Control System (CICS) enterprise
developers with JBuilder, the company's visual Java
development environment. Borland officials said that
by using IBM's CICS Gateway for Java product with
JBuilder and JavaBeans, enterprise VARs can
integrate CICS support into their Java and
Web-based applications.
Borland made the announcement at the IBM Business
Partner Executive Conference (BPEC) held in San
Francisco this week.
Thomas Torf, Borland's director of strategic sales said
Borland shares a common vision with IBM, which is
helping VARs "build state-of-the-art e-business
applications and enterprise information networks."
Rob Lamb, IBM's CICS business executive, said
Borland's tools "complement IBM's Transaction
Systems offerings by providing CICS developers with
the ability to join the Web age, providing an excellent
way of leveraging existing applications by
Web-enabling them."
IBM's CICS Gateway for Java enables Java
applications to exploit CICS servers, combining Java
and CICS for electronic business solutions, the
company said.
Borland's JBuilder product family features JavaBeans
component creation, a scalable database architecture,
and visual development tools.
