RE: Java vs RPG on iSeries

Sorry Joe, you're correct about that!

I was a bit fast with this statement:

> (html - servlets - jsp's etc...) WebFacing is included with the

Still, WebFacing has to be considered when one wants to go the java-tour
and needs a quick start to show his users/boss what the applications can
look like 'on the Net'.  After all,
1) the front-end is pure java/html
2) the users doesn't know that 'real processing' is still in RPG

Although, to be honest, we have put it aside because of
...Performance... when executed over the internet.  We'll give it
another try with the next release.  IBM said they put a lot of work in
performance-issues.

Careful with this statement, Patrick.  WebFaces applications are NOT
converted to Java.  WebFacing is a JSP front-end on the 5250 interface.
The original program is still written in RPG (or COBOL or whatever).
