Unique to Aviva Host Integration SDK! A ‘Hostlet’ is Java code automatically generated by the Aviva Developer Assistant (ADA) tool capturing the host transaction in real-time. Web application developers can easily integrate ‘Hostlets’ into customized applications, saving you development time and reducing error.

Aviva Host Integration SDK simplifies and accelerates the development ofapplications by alleviating the burden of screen scraping! And, the AvivaTrace Player is a great tool for testing or demonstrating your applicationsoff-line.

Aviva Developer Assistant – this easy-to-use tool records host navigation sequences and automatically generates Hostlets; Java codethat encapsulates the host transaction behavior. With this unique tool,any Web or Java developer can easily integrate the Hostlets into newand unique Web applications. Developers can also test their Hostlets byrunning the associated Java application Prototype.

Aviva Trace Player (ATP) – simulates a connection to a host using a pre-recorded Telnet trace file. The Aviva Trace Player lets you recordthe complete activity of a host session for playback later. It is a trulyexcellent tool for demonstrations, testing, training or troubleshootingapplications!

Flexible, Easy-to-Use Development Tools

Hostlet Technology

Aviva Host Integration SDK provides systems integrators with four powerful and flexible programming interfaces through which to integrate host data and create new secure Java-based applications,servlets and Java Server Pages (JSPs) for accessing IBM mainframe,AS/400, DEC and UNIX-based host applications.

Aviva Class Library (ACL) – the foundation upon which all other Aviva APIs are built. ACL encapsulates the complete protocol stack, up to and including 3270, 5250 and VT220 data stream handling for multi-host connectivity.

• Rich, scalable APIs – based on event-driven object model, provides session management and presentation data services

Extended Markup Language (XML) API – the Aviva XML API is used to develop XML-enabled applications, servlets or JSPs, providing an alternative for communicating with mainframes and AS/400s. XMLtechnology offers extensive flexibility in transforming host data to presentation formats such as HTML and wireless markup languages such as WML and HDML.

• Provides interoperability with heterogeneous enterprise systems (.NET, EJB,...)

Aviva JavaBeans – binary components that conform to Sun’s standard JavaBeans specifications. Aviva JavaBeans can be manipulated visually from within an application builder to quickly and easily create new Java-based solutions. Applications written using the Aviva JavaBeans allow users to connect to a host and fully interact with it in a graphical environment.

• Rapid Application Development!

OHIO – easy to use, with capabilities similar to HLLAPI, Aviva HostIntegration supports the most current draft version of OHIO (Open Host Interface Objects Interface).

• Vendor independence – writing an OHIO application enablesseamless migration from vendor to vendor
