What does the Application Integration Framework™ look like?
Red Oak Software’s Application Integration Framework has taken into account the many different functions that are required to integrate an application. By breaking these tasks into their logical components, the AIF is designed to allow full functionality with existing applications. It also provides a means to insert additional technologies as required. Below is a diagram of the AIF with a description of each component. Integration Layer This layer provides the necessary interface between the target application and the integration subsystem. The integration may require a proprietary interface or an industry standard interface. Whether the interface is proprietary, such as a WebMethods adapter, or industry standard, such as JMS, this is where it would access the underlying AIF technologies. Custom Application Logic This is where the custom integration code resides at runtime. The code in this section drives all of the other components below. This identifies what data is needed to drive t
