Ewout,

If you would like to continue to code in RPG, take a look at the IceBreak
application server. I think it can't be beat for simplicity and flexibility.
You can download a trial version from http://icebreak.org.

I post this message because I would like to get some advice of other
people who have made the transition from a traditional
5250/RPG-environment to a Web/Java-environment.

At our shop, we are only developing 5250-applications. We use ILE RPG in
the way ILE was intended for, i.e. we have created a lot of procedures to
encapsulate business rules, we use service programs, activation groups,
etcetera. Thus, we have adopted some of the modern features of ILE RPG,
but we are still stuck with 5250-applications. We now want to make the
transition to GUI- and/or Web-applications, but we don't know how to
proceed. We have bought some books about using Java on the iSeries, one of
us is doing a course on WebSphere Application Server, we have some
thoughts about a Web-application we would like to build, but we are not
feeling confident enough to really get going. Therefore, I would like to
know how other shops have made the step to modernization. I think that we
might learn a lot from the experience of others who have travelled along
the way we have ahead of us. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Ewout
