We have been using the XML Adapter with v7 of EntireX to retrieve information from Adabas on the mainframe. With v8, we do not see the equivalent of a Generate XML Adapter. Can someone explain what is the equivalent with v8 of EntireX Designer? The Generate XML Adapter was done with EntireX Workbench. I saw the ability to generate java classes from IDL in v8. For our case, we have a series of XML document that we want to push to The Natural subprogram on the mainframe for processing. How to do this without involving SOAP call? Many thanks in advance. ---

In the 7.1.1. Release Notes you will find the following in the section titled XML Wrapper: The XML adapters generated by EntireX Workbench have been replaced with XML Mapping Files (XMMs).
