Overview

This section provides you an overview, uses and prerequisites of Remote Client.

jRemote (Client) is a jBASE component providing an API to perform jBASE operations remotely such as calling subroutines or accessing jBASE files. The jRemote Client API is available to multiple development platforms (see jRemote Packages section for more details).

jRemote Resource Adapter (jRemote RA) is a JCA compliant resource adapter allowing J2EE applications to access a jBASE Enterprise Information System (EIS) within a transactional context. The J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) specification, to which this resource adapter conforms, specifies the mechanisms and contracts required for this transactional interaction. JCA provides a Java technology solution to the problem of connectivity between the many application containers and today's enterprise information systems (EIS).

This diagram shows how Java and .NET C# client applications may use jRemote (Client) to access jBASE functionality. jAgent is a jBASE component responsible for accepting and processing incoming client requests. jAgent, as well as jRemote, use TCP socket connections to communicate between each other and therefore need to be configured to use the same TCP port.

The prerequisite is to have knowledge on:

• Java Standard Edition
• Microsoft .NET Framework
• Microsoft .NET C# programming concepts
• jBASE and concepts of Multivalue databases
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
