openadaptorâ„¢ is a Java/XML-based software platform which allows for rapid business system integration with little or no custom programming.

openadaptorâ„¢ can be loosely classified as EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) software. It is highly extensible and provides many ready-built interface components for JMS, LDAP, Mail, MQ Series, Oracle, Sybase and MSSQL Server as well as data exchange formats such as XML. New components are regularly added.

The openadaptorâ„¢ collaborative software development initiative exists to:

- Provide the necessary infrastructure for a software project to engage and challenge the Open Source community;
- Facilitate systems integration within any company, its partners, and its customers;
- Present an easily extensible framework to encourage entrepreneurial organizations to develop value-added services in mutually advantageous partnership;
- Dramatically reduce the cost of doing business by using proven Open Source methods and resources.
- Provide a set of lightweight, easily deployed, flexible tools which are extensively used in a highly demanding business environment as a real world example of what collaborative development can achieve.

elemenopeâ„¢ is a JMS compliant messaging framework written in Java. It allows one to easily create a large scale multi-platform application to conduct messaging or transaction processing. It abstracts away all of the connectivity issues when dealing with or designing such a project.

* elemenope uses Java Message Service [JMS] for messaging.
* elemenope currently utilizes both JNDI connectors and IBM MQSeries [WebSphereMQ] connectors, allowing the use of any JMS compliant Messaging Oriented Middleware [MOM].
* elemenope has built-in mainframe connectivity classes for use when connecting to a mainframe running IBM MQSeries with the IMS Adapter or IMS Bridge.

As of Release 2.0, elemenopeâ„¢ now allows the use of JNDI connectors to utilize any JMS compliant Message Oriented Middleware [MOM]. This includes SonicMQ, JBossMQ, JORAM, OpenJMS, etc.

elemenopeâ„¢ has been in development since 1999. It and some of its precursors are currently in production use within several companies large and small.
