Feedback wanted on Net.Data, E-RPG and Java...

Let me start off by saying that I am PRO Net.Data and E-RPG.

OK, my company just had an IBM rep come and give us a presentation on using
Java Servlets, and other Java stuff.
His suggestion was, obviously, to use only Java Servlets for any web
oriented programs. My understanding of Servlets are that
they generated HTML EXACTLY the way the E-RPG does.  So, I asked him why
not simply use E-RPG.  His comment was that
the concept of CGI in RPG won't last, and won't be supported by IBM in
several years.  And then I asked about the use of Net.Data.
On this, he also comment, that this use will quickly die out.  And that IBM
will probably not supported it very soon.
I'd just like to know if anyone knows anything about this.

Also, I was just wondering how an AS/400 would handle getting hits, from
the web like, let's say an Excite.com, or Amazon.com would.
I've only worked with companies that get very, very few hits a day.  But,
how would handle getting several hundred or thousand hits an hour?

Thanks a bunch.    Long Live Brad Stone.
Dave

ps. Just kidding Brad.
