SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder

SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder is used to decode SWIFT MT/FIN data into XML format, or encode XML data into SWIFT MT/FIN format. It is built up on SWIFT SDK which provides the basic parsing. SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder also provides flexible extensions for schema validation, cross-fields semantic validation and text validation, through XSLT, Schematron, JavaScript, JRuby, java, etc, or some combinations of them, you can choose depending on your own preference and expertise.

SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder seamlessly integrates with the powerful Open Source platform OpenESB and GlassFishESB (JBI based). It can be used in different ways, e.g. in interative SWIFT Encoder Tester, hook-up with dozens of Open JBI components (e.g. ftp, file, database, smtp, imap, pop3, http, soap, rest, jms, ldap, mq, msmq, snmp, scheduler etc), in BPEL engine, POJO engine.

SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder can also run outside OpenESB / GlassFishESB, e.g. in Java EE, Java SE.

Potentially, SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder can also be used in SeeBeyond/SUN/Oracle Java CAPS platform (the prior generations of OpenESB) in certain ways. Actually SWIFT SAI is a product built up on Java CAPS, combining with SWIFT SDK.

This PDF document (http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoder.pdf) is a step-by-step tutorial to SWIFT MT/FIN Encoder.

There are also several screencasts showing the steps:

1. Basics     (3 min 27 sec)  : http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoderBasics.html
2. In BPEL    (3 min 36 sec)  : http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoderInBPEL.html
3. In POJO    (2 min 52 sec)  : http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoderInPOJO.html
4. In Java SE (1 min 50 sec)  : http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoderInJavaSE.html
5. In Java EE (2 min 10 sec)  : http://swiftencoder.appspot.com/SwiftEncoderInJavaEE.html

There is also a page (SWIFT MT/XML Online Converter) which allows you to perform online decode/encode conversions between MT/FIN and XML formats. If you are not interested in XML format, here you can find a "classic" EDI Parser that presents SWIFT MT structure via java objects.
