Java CAPS Framework

ReStart has developed an integration architecture framework on top of the Java CAPS product in order to maximise the efficiency of implementation delivery and minimise the redevelopment of integration services.

ReStart Architecture

The purpose of the ReStart Architecture is to reduce the effort involved in building and monitoring the integration space by providing an implementation that includes common services, a development framework, a test harness and a monitoring tool.

The architecture comprises:

• A framework of generic collaborations
• A pre-built, easily deployable integration engine
• A routing and configuration database
• Technical services
• Test harness
• Monitoring and alerting

The architecture is designed to be used as a SOA and to allow the use of a Common Message Format enabling application independence minimising the impact of changing or upgrading external systems.

ReStart Framework

The framework provides a set of generic collaborations that removes much of the common work in interface development and allows users to concentrate on specific interface processing, by allowing the dynamic selection of sub-collaborations at runtime.

Errors raised within the integration collaborations are sent to an error table within the database.

ReStart Engine

The engine is a pre-built, easily deployable integration engine that incorporates the framework. It comprises Connection and Channel modules that can be chained together for multi-stage processing.
