>Java is better for vector and string manipulation than RPG...

I don't disagree with the above statement.  It's just that it's ealily
remedied.  Buy or build an ILE Vector module, and assemble a collection of
string manipulation subprocedures (you won't need many).  String
manipulation is not a good reason to choose Java over RPG for web
development.  RPG BIFs have narrowed the distinctions considerably, and
anything you lack is fairly trivial to build.

That's not to say there aren't other reasons for some people to choose Java
for web development.  It's just that I don't see string manipulation as
being one of them.

Nathan.
