COBOL and Java – a likely pairing? You wouldn’t initially think that a

programming language like COBOL, that’s been around for over 30 years, could interoperate with a new language like Java.

That’s where you’re wrong. COBOL and Java can coexist. Does that mean that COBOL programmers have to learn and master Java in order to mix the two languages? No.

A real world example, walking you through an application that uses existing COBOL code — no rewriting — while using Java to develop the application front-end and an application server to handle the processing on the server.
