Just curious,
is it possible to have a JVM batch application to initiate a transaction in a CICS region?
I've used batch utilities before to initiate tasks outside of CICS, but wondered if the same thing could be done with JAVA.

There are various "connectors" which allow a Java application to connect to CICS and run transactions. Is that what you mean?

Yes,
I'll need the java application to connect to CICS, invoke a predefined transaction with data, and wait for the response back.

The most current (external) Java interface to CICS is called "CCI".
More information can be found in: SC34-6440 "Java Applications in CICS".
This most commonly used from a Websphere client, but the manual leads one to believe that it can be also done from a standalone Java client.
