Thanks for the article. I kind of get idea now. This is what I get from it: SCA is a kind of glue code for glueing pool of apps to be used by another apps. So our new apps will connect to SCA and SCA will connect to these pool of apps. CMIIW. > You can find more information at: http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/. > > Tuscany is not an ESB offering.

People out there compares SCA with JBI, which is an ESB. :( And that's an insight that I get from those articles you gave me too. > For AS400, what protocols do you have in mind to provide the connectivity? > They are captured as bindings in Tuscany/SCA.

Thanks. I will confirm these to my I.T team what protocol do Ineed in order to connect to AS400. Is there anything I need to know in order for Tuscany to connect to AS400 ?
