Can a .NET application communicate with HostBridge?
Absolutely! With HostBridge, creating a bi-directional link between .NET and CICS applications is simple. Note that you also have some options for how your .NET server component communicates to HostBridge. For example, in one recent implementation, the customer decided to have the .NET server component communicate to HostBridge using simple HTTP requests that carry POST data (the input was non-XML). HostBridge responded with an XML document (which it always does). They chose this approach to optimize performance on the mainframe (since XML was not used for the data or the SOAP request, no inbound XML parsing had to be performed). In this case, the .NET server component expressed a web services interface to it’s callers (but they weren’t concerned about HostBridge expressing a web services interface to the .NET application).
