Enterprise Applications are increasingly moving towards providing web access to their users through "thin clients". There is a strong case for their integration using weboriented technologies. This paper brings out the need for a framework for web-based Enterprise Application Integration and evolves it. The framework provides a very flexible architecture for seamless integration of enterprise applications using available technologies. XML is used as a complete solution for EAI. This paper describes the design of the framework and explains the implementation of a prototype based on the framework.
