iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP) consists of the following components:

• iWay Business Services Provider is the server that exchanges SOAP messages with a Web services client application. iBSP also hosts many adapters and can communicate with adapters hosted by other servers. It can be installed on Windows, UNIX, or mainframe computers. When installed on Windows, it runs as a Windows Service, but can also run as a stand-alone Java application.
• iWay Explorer is an independent Java application. It works with adapters to create schemas and business services for use with the iWay Connector for JCA or iBSP. iWay Explorer supports access to several Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). Although the underlying technology that is used to access the systems varies significantly from EIS to EIS, the iWay Explorer user interface varies only slightly to accommodate the differences.
