JNBridge Releases Two New JMS Adapters for Microsoft .NET Framework and BizTalk Server

New adapters allow developers to quickly and easily integrate a JMS infrastructure with any .NET Framework application or BizTalk Server

Boulder, Colorado, US—October 30, 2007—JNBridge, LLC today announced the release of two new first-to-market JMS adapters: The JNBridge JMS Adapter for .NET and the JNBridge JMS Adapter for BizTalk Server. The new adapters provide a streamlined and automated method to connect JMS (Java Messaging Service) capabilities to Microsoft .NET Framework applications and BizTalk Server to accelerate the delivery of new software products and services to the enterprise.

“As customers use the .NET Framework and BizTalk Server as a foundation for their enterprise information systems, interoperability is a key requirement,” explained Dino Chiesa, Director of Marketing for the .NET Platform at Microsoft. “These new JMS adapters from JNBridge allow customers that already have Java-based messaging systems to connect to those systems from .NET and BizTalk programs. Interoperability between .NET or BizTalk applications and JMS systems just got a whole lot easier.”

The JNBridge JMS Adapter for .NET integrates any vendor’s JMS implementation directly with a .NET Framework application. This adapter is the first commercially-available JMS adapter that relies on Microsoft’s new WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) Line-of-Business adapter technology, allowing it to work with any custom .NET Framework application or any Microsoft program that can consume a WCF endpoint.

The JNBridge JMS Adapter for BizTalk Server provides enterprises with a fast and easy way to connect JMS capabilities with Microsoft’s BizTalk Server 2006 or its newly released BizTalk Server 2006 R2.

Both the JNBridge JMS Adapter for .NET and the JMS Adapter for BizTalk Server use a simple interface that hides the complexities of building a JMS client. The JMS adapters require no changes to existing JMS enterprise servers and are compatible with any vendor’s JMS server. Both adapters utilize the technologies in JNBridgePro, JNBridge’s flagship Java and .NET interoperability product. The BizTalk adapter supports .NET Framework 2.0 and above, the .NET adapter supports .NET 3.0, and in the future JNBridge plans to support .NET 3.5.

“For years, our JNBridgePro customers have asked for an easy way to allow .NET Framework or BizTalk Server applications to send and receive messages from JMS servers,” explained Wayne Citrin, CTO at JNBridge. “Now, with our new JMS adapters for the .NET Framework and BizTalk Server, they have a streamlined and automatic way to ensure complete and immediate interoperability. Users don’t need to have detailed knowledge of both JMS programming and adapter construction to use the JMS Adapter for .NET or the JMS Adapter for BizTalk Server. We have fully automated the process for them in one single step.”

Both adapters are available immediately and full-featured evaluation copies can be downloaded by visiting www.jnbridge.com
