Can anyone recommend a way of communication between a Java servlet and CICS? The servlet runs on TCP/IP LAN. CICS is release 4.1. It is possible that the mainframe has a TCP/IP stack, because it does FTPs.

I am looking for something that is: reliable,cost - effective (not a lot of installations of various software products on the mainframe or PC side), performs well (sub-second query/response), does not take a lot of time to install, i.e. for the shortest path to get there...

I am aware of such products as MQ, Java Gateway, etc., but not sure how it all fits together and what is the level of effort for the application or system programmer.

What are the minimum requirements? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance, Ed.
