Introduction to RPC Server and Listener Technology

EntireX RPC Servers

RPC servers are important components of EntireX RPC Technology. They are accessed by RPC clients.

The EntireX Adapter is fully integrated into the RPC technology. Through an Integration Server service, the adapter works as an RPC client. Using an Integration Server listener, it acts as an RPC server calling an IS service. This means that every endpoint supported by EntireX can be accessed from Integration Server.

An RPC server calls the requested server implementation. The Designer tool you choose depends on your scenario. For example:

EntireX Listeners

Listener components connect clients that are not RPC-based (XML/SOAP, IBM MQ, etc.) to an RPC server. See EntireX RPC Servers.

EntireX listeners are components listening on a port using a protocol other than RPC. Incoming requests on the non-RPC listening port are forwarded to an RPC server (see EntireX RPC Servers) using RPC Technology. In this way, an EntireX listener extends the access to RPC servers for clients that are not RPC-based, such as IBM MQ, XML/SOAP, etc. The Designer tool you choose depends on your scenario. For example:

  • to extract from an existing interface, use an IDL Extractor (WSDL | XML Document | XML Schema)

  • to expand an existing server implementation where you have a Software AG IDL file, use the XML/SOAP Wrapper

  • etc.
