WebSphere Portal / JD Edwards Integration
|
|
|
| Hi,
I will shortly be working on a project integrating WebSphere Portal with JD Edwards. Does anybody have advice on how this ought to be approached? The requirement is to display JD Edwards data within a portlet.
Thanks.

| Can anybody help with this? It is quite urgent.
Thanks.

| Surely somebody has attempted this?
Is it even possible? If so, how? Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks.

| I think your question is too broad to answer. Here are some of the ways you could accomplish the integration. This is applicable for any ERP software integration with Websphere Portal.
JD Edwards does provide JCA and WSIF frameworks. As long as there is a JCA adapter available to talk to JD Edwards system you should be able to get the back end data through different ways.
1. In one scenario, based on user entered information in portlet, you could invoke a business command which can inturn talk to JCA adapter through a business delegate or a facade (any of your favorite design pattern) and display the results.
2. If there is a messaging system integrated with JDE, you can use synchronous communication (based on your need) and get xml data as output, parse it and display in portlet
3. If you enabled the Webservices framework, send a soap request and get the response
There are number ways you could integrate with JDE or infact any ERP system in general. As long as ERP system supports JCA or web services, it should not be difficult to integrate with Websphere Portal (in theory atleast).
Post any specific questions so that you can get accurate answers from community.
Cheers,
