Callings CICS in Tomcat

[Sa...@JohnLewis.co.uk]

Hi,

Please can you advise me on below. 

We are currently evaluating various runtime platforms to replace our 
current Websphere platform so as to improve the build lifecycle time & 
reduce server configuration. 
We are on Windows platform and use Java5, RAD7 for local developments. 

I have been going through various Tomcat documentation to verify whether 
it can satisfy our development runtime server requirements and I have 
managed to get all the answers
except for CICS transactions. So please can you confirm whether can we 
call CICS programs in Tomcat server via JCA calls and if yes, can you 
forward me to a relevant documentation.

Let me know if you need more info on this.

Tomcat is not a full J2EE (or JEE) server, it supports the Servlet 
specification and is a capable web server.

Tomcat doesn't have CICS* functionality built into it, you'd have to 
supply that yourself.  Likewise I'm not aware of Tomcat providing 
special support for JCA with any supplied libaries, so you'd need to 
provide those yourself in your application.

(I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.)

* Assuming my googling of what CICS is, is accurate.
