I am investigating the possibilities of creating Java applications on the
iSeries and replacing some of the RPG applications.  I was wondering if
anyone else has had experience in replacing RPG with Java on their iSeries
and what some of the advantages and disadvantages are.

I'm concerned about:

1) Run Time/Performance.  Can Java be just as quick as sensible to use for
Interactive and Batch Programming ?
2) Is it sensible to still use Green Screen with Java and slowly convert
over to GUI interfaces ?  We are in need of developing a green screen
application using Java to show that Java can do the exact same thing as RPG.
Anybody know how easily this can be done or provide some sample code ?
3) Are the advantages significant enough to warrant migration to Java on the
iSeries ?

If anyone has some information/experience on dealing with this, it would be
greatly appreciated.
