Adapters for Other Technologies


TIBCO Adapters enable integration with component or object development models as well as with other messaging technologies. In fact, integrating applications based on these network technologies into a TIBCO-enabled e-business infrastructure can expand their functionality to include features such as publication and subscription service level messaging, and load-balancing.

TIBCO Adapters for Network Technologies are available for the following technologies. Note that the list is not complete. Adapters are available for CORBA, CICS and other technologies.

TIBCO Adapter for LDAP

The adapter allows applications configured for the TIBCO environment to communicate with LDAP servers without any knowledge of LDAP protocol, LDAP APIs, and LDAP server implementation. Applications can retrieve information from or update LDAP servers, or receive changes occurring on the LDAP servers.

TIBCO Adapter for COM

The adapter allows you to use ordinary COM interfaces to send messages to or receive messages from applications configured for the TIBCO environment. You do not need to write complex code to manage a messaging session or to marshal your data into messages. Instead, you develop a COM interface and then use a graphical administration tool to set certain configuration parameters.

TIBCO Adapter for CORBA

TIBCO Adapter for CORBA enables the integration of CORBA and TIBCO ActiveEnterprise applications. The adapter provides a standalone process which interoperates between your CORBA applications and TIBCO ActiveEnterprise. There is no need to re-compile your existing CORBA or TIBCO ActiveEnterprise applications. Information about your CORBA and TIBCO ActiveEnterprise applications is entered into a repository that contains configuration information for the adapter.

TIBCO Adapter for CORBA supports the CORBA Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) which allows it to interoperate with CORBA applications built using third-party ORBs.

TIBCO Adapter for EJB

The adapter enables the integration of EJB and applications that operate in the TIBCO environment. This adapter currently supports version 1.3 of the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Environment (J2EE) specification. It also supports the J2EE Connector API, which is part of the J2EE version 1.3 specification.

TIBCO Adapter for MQSeries

The adapter facilitates message flow between MQSeries applications, applications configured for the TIBCO environment, and compatible third-party applications. The adapter takes messages received from applications configured for the TIBCO environment, transforms the message if necessary, and then places this data on an MQSeries queue where it can be accessed by MQSeries applications. Conversely, the adapter extracts data from an MQSeries queue and converts it into a TIBCO wire format for consumption by external applications that subscribe to this data. Request-Response interactions are also supported between TIBCO Rendezvous and MQSeries.

TIBCO Adapter for SWIFT

The adapter enables exchange of data between the SWIFT network and applications configured for the TIBCO environment. It sends and receives SWIFT messages to and from the SWIFT network. It also parses, validates, and unparses SWIFT messages for publishing and subscribing in the TIBCO environment. This can be done in two ways: automatically by running the adapter, or programmatically using the Java API. The API enables SWIFT messages to be used for private messaging without using the SWIFT network.
