'''webMethods Integration Server''' is one of the core application servers in the [[webMethods Fabric]] platform.
It is a [[Java (programming language)|Java]] based, multiplatform enterprise Integration engine supporting the execution of services to perform the integration logic such as data mapping and communication with other systems.
The Integration Server supports Java, C/C++ programming languages for writing services as well as a proprietary graphical language known as [[webMethods flow|flow]]. It also supports graphical configuration of 3rd party system operations via the concept of "Adapter services".<ref name="wmISDataSheet">[http://www1.webmethods.com/PDF/datasheets/IntegrationServer_datasheet.pdf] webMethods Integration server Datasheet URL checked 26/Feb/2007</ref><ref name="wmAdaptersDatasheet">[http://www1.webmethods.com/PDF/datasheets/Adapters_datasheet.pdf webMethods Adapter Datasheet]</ref>
One of the big selling points of the Integration Server was the graphical form of coding using flow to perform mapping and other common integration/B2B tasks that are tedious in conventional, text based languages. This allows rapid development and intuitive creation of mapping logic (a large part of a typical enterprise integration project).
The Integration Server exposes its administration, configuration and auditing facilities to the user via an HTML web interface.
