The following diagram depicts a typical .Net application. A Windows executable may contain multiple Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) or assemblies, where each DLL or assembly performs a particular function. The iWay Adapter enables you to externalize the functionality of a particular DLL or assembly for integration purposes.

The adapter uses custom DLLs and Java classes to ensure seamless integration with your .Net application.

• Target .Net

  An assembly that contains the classes and methods that are explored at design time by iWay Explorer or invoked at runtime.

• iwclr32.dll (for 32-bit environments) and iwclr64.dll (for 64-bit environments)

  Assemblies for .Net that contain the functionality to explore assemblies at design time, load and invoke classes and methods at runtime, and implement the custom attributes used for assembly annotation.

• iwdotnet32.dll (for 32-bit environments) and iwdotnet64.dll (for 64-bit environments)

  Export the JNI methods that are required by the Java classes that implement the adapter and act as a common language runtime host.
