Program framework for BeanConnect-specific interfaces

In BeanConnect you specify the EIS partner to be addressed when deploying a managed connection factory. You use the lookup() method to search for the connection factory and obtain a connectivity object by calling the getConnection() method.

The connectivity object provided implements the EISConnection interface for communication with the EIS application:

1. Set up the initial context:

   javax.naming.InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

2. Reference a connection factory:

   net.fsc.jca.communication.EISConnectionFactory cf =
     (EISConnectionFactory)ic.lookup
       ("java:comp/env/<resource_reference_name>");
   

3. Set up the connection:

   net.fsc.jca.communication.EISConnection con = (EISConnection) cf.getConnection();

4. If you use the EISConnection interface in order to specify the service name (TAC) or the name of the EIS service, proceed as follows:

   con.setServiceName(<name_of_the_service>);

   However, you should note that for performance reasons, it is recommended that you work with the preconfigured service names.

5. Create the message that you want to send

   String requestMessage = "...";

6. Call the EIS application and receive the reply message:

   String replyMessage = con.call(requestMessage);

7. Close the connection:

   con.close();

Further information on how to program the EISConnection and EISOltpConnection interfaces is provided in the JavaDoc of the interface itself.

You will find a sample in Example 13 on Querying information on the conversation with the EIS application .
