FileNet Corporation announced general availability of its FileNet Image Services Resource Adapter (ISRA), which provides connectivity from applications built on Sun Microsystems’ J2EE to content managed within FileNet Image Services repositories. ISRA, compliant with and built to the J2EE 1.3/Java Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.0 specifications, provides a Java-based solution to address connectivity between application servers and legacy enterprise information systems. The solution is designed for industries that have large-scale integrated content management systems in place. ISRA offers a cost-effective way to repurpose this existing information in new ways as they begin to replace older client/server models with a kind of distributed computing in which a central server acts as an information hub. ISRA supports BEA WebLogic 8.1 and 7.0 SP2 and IBM WebSphere 4.0.4AE application servers and AIX 4.3.3 and above, HP/UX 11.0 and above, Windows 2000 and Sun Solaris 8.0 and above. www.filenet.com
