CSL Options

CSL is offered with the following options:

CSL BaseProvides basic components e.g. the NonStop server side installation needed by all other CSL options. With CSL Base you can replace RSC on Windows and UNIX (currently SUN Solaris only). With CSL Base you can also access the NonStop from any clients written in C/C++, Delphi and Visual Basic.
CSL JAVAWith this option you can access the NonStop from Java clients running on any platform and from any J2EE compliant application server using the standard J2EE Connector Architecture.
CSL XICSL XI enables Pathway Servers (HP NonStop Applications) to participate in the SAP SOA strategy. CSL XI is a fully functional SAP Netweaver XI Adapter. It has been certified for the Netweaver XI Adapter Framework (NW-XI-AF) for SAP XI.
CSL .NETThis option allows to access the NonStop from clients written in any .NET compliant programming language.
CSL SOAP ServerWeb Services on NonStop can be provided with CSL SOAP in two different ways:

a) exposing existing Pathway servers as Web Services through SOAP to Pathway interfaces

b) implementing new Pathway servers directly acting as stand-alone Web Services (i.e. without the need for a separate SOAP to Pathway interface)

Option a) is an easy and quick way of providing a Web Service that is based on business functionality already implemented by existing (legacy) Pathway servers. No changes to the Pathway server's program code are needed.

Option b) allows a Web Service developer who creates a new Web Service to fully concentrate on the business logic while CSL SOAP provides an easy to use Web Service implementation framework that hides all the functionality needed exchange and parse the corresponding SOAP messages.
CSL SOAP ClientThis option enables NonStop application (COBOL, C/C++, TAL) to consume Web Service via an easy to use API generated by CSL SOAP. All the details about the SOAP protocol and maintaining a WSDL are hided from the NonStop Webservice Client developer.

The API is automatically generated by CSL SOAP on behalf of the WSDL file being delivered by the remote Web Service provider.
CSL StudioCSL Studio comprises an Eclipse Plug-In and a Repository on NonStop that is used to create services oriented interfaces for existing Pathway applications. With the CSL Studio Designer component you can visually design services and map them to existing Pathway applications. With the CSL Studio Generator component you can also automatically generate stub source code to be used by the client application in order to access the NonStop in a service oriented manner.
CSL SSLThis option allows accessing the NonStop from any client in a secure manner while encrypting/decrypting all data in transit using the SSL protocol.
