5250-to-HTML servlet?

 >> Well, Pluta Brothers (and others) have been asking for a workstation
exit point for some time now, but never really expected to get one.  It's a
revenue issue with IBM.

Joe - my understanding is that Seagull, Jacada, etc. already have access to
the same API that WebFacing uses.  There was no way IBM would get away with
keeping it "secret" so the WF guys had at best a year or so's head start.
Don't know the exact terms under which the API information is revealed - it
is still not a public API as far as I know - but I know they have it
available to them.  Probably via the Partnerworld agreement I would guess.

For this reason I would assume that they will also be able to run as batch
in the future just as WF will be able to.  WF was always designed to run in
batch - it just needed a marketing decision on Rochester's part to change
the interactive policy.
