Financial devices services

The Branch Transformation Toolkit provides services for accessing financial devices through two different standard APIs: WOSA/XFS and J/XFS. WOSA/XFS (Windows(R) Open Services Architecture / eXtension for Financial Services) is an industry standard based on C and Windows technology. The toolkit provides a wrapper that makes the WOSA/XFS API available to Java(TM) as a toolkit service. A toolkit-based solution can incorporate any device that has a WOSA/XFS device driver by defining the WOSA/XFS compliant device as an additional toolkit service. J/XFS (Java eXtensions for Financial Services) is an industry standard based on Java, which provides generic J/XFS Device Control objects as JavaBeans™. The toolkit provides J/XFS Services by extending the J/XFS JavaBeans to provide the ability to define external parameters, to generate toolkit events, and to integrate with other toolkit components.

The toolkit also supports some financial devices by accessing them using the LANDP(R) protocol. The toolkit can issue from Java LANDP method calls, which enables a toolkit service to access any LANDP server.
