Bie (http://www.brunswickwdi.com/index.pl/bie) is used to help organizations perform data exchange between different operating systems, implement EAI and B2B solutions, which are similar to Microsoft BizTalk, but Compared with two advantages:
l Since Java reaches a real cross-platform implementation of data exchange
l Open source code, suitable for secondary openness
You can use BIE to accept data documents from other applications or other companies and convert them into XML for their own application. Instead, you can also get data from your own application and use Bie in different formats to be used in different formats. No matter which case, the data begins to be a format, then converted into XML via Bie, then you can output data at a completely different format. Whether it is a data source or a data recipient, their data format does not have to be the same, or even the XML format.
BIE is more than just a data exchange server, which also provides powerful graphics service flow control tools. Business analysts draw traffic flow in a similar flow chart to achieve the features required. The documentation is very small, you need to explore yourself to look at the contents of the forum or email list, believe that more helpful and other OpenSource EAI projects are more mature and reliable
