Hoox
HooX (Host object oriented conneXion) is a software product line allowing communication between mainframes and applications running on the J2EE or .NET frameworks. The product was announced in 2001 and its general shipping availability in 2002. The mainframes must run the GCOS 7, GCOS 8 or MVS operating systems. It is based on the GCOS TCP/IP Enterprise Access library.
HooX J2EE Connector implements the Java EE Connector Architecture to allow mainframes to communicate with Java applications running on any J2EE-compliant application server running on AIX or Windows.
HooX JMS does the same thing in a asynchronous way through the Java Message Service. Internally, communication with the J2EE server is achieved through the server's JMS feature and a JMS agent on the GCOS side.
HooX COM+ allows mainframes to communicate with .NET applications.
