iWay Software is the world's leading provider of integration tools and adapter technologies that deliver fluid, natural control over all of your enterprise information assets. Over 2,000 customers use our broad set of standards-based adapters to rapidly integrate their applications, e-business documents, and databases into a single virtual information system with shared data structures, transactions, and business logic. No matter how diverse or dissimilar the components of your IT infrastructure may be, iWay integration tools and adapters make them all accessible for e-business applications and integration projects.

Since the 1990s many companies and application providers have used Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standards for Internet and legacy C++ application development, particularly before the popularity of Java™/J2EE™ and XML/Web services architectures. The iWay Intelligent Adapter for CORBA integrates existing CORBA services with other enterprise infrastructure investments, and may be integrated into J2EE or .NET applications and deployed as Web services.

The iWay Intelligent Adapter for CORBA is part of the iWay Universal Adapter Suite, which makes it easy to integrate and reuse virtually any applications, data, or other information technologies.

When the iWay Intelligent Adapter for CORBA receives a request for a service, the adapter converts the XML request document to a Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII) call and sends it to the CORBA server using the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). The response of the CORBA server is returned over IIOP. The adapter then formats the response as an XML response document for further processing.
