Steve,

Your previous message said "What I would like to have is a debate on
what is better, Java or .NET. I think that is the important discussion
to have.  What language should Windows/AS400 shops use for the client
side of their apps -Java or .NET?" 

In your next message you say "My guess is a .NET forum for iSeries
applications would have a lot more activity.  Because .NET is better
than Java.  And there would be more programmers writing more iSeries
applications."

To add balance to your statements. I have used both Java and .NET to
build enterprise-level applications. Java developers have spent a number
of years perfecting the art and science of building enterprise-level
applications. The .NET community and Microsoft are making great progress
but there is still a significant gap. One exception is in the thick
Windows client area where the inverse applies.

Where are the advocates for JSP and WebSphere?   What are the
outstanding WebSphere based applications that are big sellers for the
as400 based software houses?

I am been using .NET for the past 6 months and am convinced it is a
great choice for the client side of iSeries applications.  The
Midrange Java list seems very quiet. The ignite list, another java
focused forum is quiet also.  My guess is a .NET forum for iSeries
applications would have a lot more activity.  Because .NET is better
than Java.  And there would be more programmers writing more iSeries
applications.
