RE: (no subject) -- WDSCI-L

Thanks a lot for your concerns Joe. I really appreciate it. Well, one thing I wanted to let you know is that we wont be starting everything from "scratch" if I am understanding correctly as to what you are pointing towards. Large part of our AS400 shop will still stay in RPG but we will be using Java mostly on the intranet and internet side for the outside world. I will be needing to take some/lots of applications in RPG and make Java versions of it so that I can make them work as servlets and JSP pages. May be I could easily convert them into Java beans and call those beans from JSP pages. In order to do this I will be needing to understand RPG and may be write my own RPG modifications to suit my needs and that is why I want to learn RPG so desperately. Thanks again. Please let me know what you think, Joe. I am very open to any kind of suggestions.

Mike.

Mike, please, please, PLEASE ask the powers that be in your company to
contact someone about this business decision.  I for one would be
perfectly happy to just chat with them about the reasons for staying
with RPG as opposed to rewriting everything in Java.
Aaron's company is currently implementing a Java interface to their
business logic, as are other companies.  They are finding it far more
productive to leverage their existing code rather than trying to rewrite
the entire system from scratch.
Please, let your bosses know there are alternatives!
Joe
