In a nutshell, CapeConnect is an XML infrastructure. Also you must have Apache Tomcat 3.1, JRun 3.0, or JServ 1.1.1. As a convenience, CapeConnect ships with a free distribution of the Apache Tomcat servlet engine, which includes a Web server. A free full version of CapeConnect is available on the company Web site and takes only a few minutes to download. The setup program comes with some very helpful code examples and an example application.
Setup is easy.
I was ready to do business in about 15 minutes. After the product is installed, the CapeConnect console is started. It allows you to start or stop CapeConnect, run the development tools, modify the configuration, or run the example applications. I found the latter to be extremely helpful. If you're like me, you start with the demonstration application and work your way backward.
