HooX (Host object oriented conneXion) is a software product line allowing communication between mainframes and applications running on the J2EE or .NET frameworks [ [http://www.bull.com/servers/gcos8/products/interop8/hoox_pr.htm HooX ] ] . The product was announced in 2001 [ [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Bull+Launches+HooX+Java+Connection+Tools+to+Link+Open+Server-based...-a076691068 Bull Launches HooX Java Connection Tools to Link Open Server-based E-business Applications to Legacy Transactions. - Free Online Library ] ] and its general shipping availability in 2002http://www.bull.com/servers/gcos8/events/techsem2002/giroux.pdf] . The mainframes must run the GCOS 7, GCOS 8 or MVS operating systems. It is based on the [http://www.bull.com/servers/gcos8/products/interop8/GTEA.htm GCOS TCP/IP Enterprise Access] library.

HooX J2EE Connector implements the Java EE Connector Architecture to allow mainframes to communicate with Java applications running on any J2EE-compliant application server running on AIX or Windows.

HooX JMS does the same thing in a asynchronous way through the Java Message Service [http://www.bull.com/servers/gcos7/ce7/S-HooXJMSGCOS7_va1.pdf] . Internally, communication with the J2EE server is achieved through the server's JMS feature and a JMS agent on the GCOS side.

HooX COM+ allows mainframes to communicate with .NET applications.
