Biller Xpert IntegrationThis illustrates how Netscape Application Server interfaces to external sources of data and services, such as legacy billing applications and payment warehouses. BillerXpert interfaces with payment warehouses, or acquirers, such as FDC, through the Payment Services Abstraction Layer (PSAL). PSAL currently ships with a built-in interface to CyberCash.BillerXpert provides a data loading component that translates data in XML (Extended Markup Language) format and loads it to the BillerXpert data server tier, including Oracle and Netscape Directory Server. XML is an industry standard for formatting data for exchange among applications, similar to the way that HTML is used for exchange among web servers and browsers. You can integrate BillerXpert with legacy application formats, such
as Advanced Format Print (AFP), by using ECXpert and Mercator mapping to
convert legacy formats to XML. You can also use third-party products
that parse legacy formats to XML, or create a custom solution.
