RE: RPG and Web.. (was Using OO concepts in RPG)

Yes, actually there is.  We've been evaluating it here in our shop.  Visually 
in the ide you are coding html and rpg together just like you would in a jsp.  
You save the program on the ifs in this format.  When you compile, the ide 
separates the rpg and html into source members behind the scenes.  It's very 
quick, has some nice wizards for creating list and other basic types of 
programs.  So far I like what I see.

This reminds me, isn't there a new product called "RPG Server Pages"?

Cool, so I can put Java down on my resume?  ;)

There is so much to learn and I'm not using this 'for real' anywhere so that 
makes it even tougher.  But that's cool to know that with a few extra steps it 
can be that much more.  Thanks Joe.

Which means you're in effect building JavaServer Pages, which are nothing
more than HTML and some data filled in from a JavaBean.  The only thing you
need to do now is to write a servlet to call your RPG logic, put the data
into a JavaBean and invoke the JSP!
