Re: Web Facing - A Browser Front with a 400 back? Sounds good?

Rick,

You could deploy iSeries Access for the Web on that machine. I tried it on 
my 170 and got sub-minute response time.... :-))

There are software vendors out there who have been pushed by IBM to use 
IBM's products to web face their applications. One of my customers there 
in New York is in the midst of implementing just such a system. Guess 
where the web-facing server resides? If you guessed not on an iSeries, you 
get a prize. The performance of the application running on the iSeries 
forced the vendor to use a middleware box. The end customer doesn't get 
the source, so he can't make mods to his menus, and if the green screen 
app changes, he has to wait until the vendor gets around to changing the 
GUI side.

If you want all the bells and whistles with a minimal amount of hassle and 
investment, you should think seriously about a product like Joe Pluta's, 
or a product like Newlook (www.looksoftware.com)
