Yep, we do. Ahhh, man, and I was looking forward to the naked mud wrestling. However, to the non-i5 centric IT world, they would say it was an illogical fight as they would side with me even though I might lose to you in the mud. I'll have to see what the URL is about.

Wish I had time to fight with you Dave, but we already know where that
goes. Someday we will have to do mud wrestling (not naked) and resolve this
RPG dispute that way :-)

I am sure that you will agree that ASP.NET <http://asp.net/> s best
suited
to be run on MS platforms, interaction with other MS products, Windows
Server, IIS, SQL..

You opened the door so I will walk through it:-) I have found Microsoft
products are *OK* with small scale stuff. As soon as you get further into
the enterprise level applications with the tiers written appropriately
then
all the neat things you get with Microsoft fade away quickly. Note this
isn't unique to Microsoft but is true about most application stacks out
there (i.e. RubyOnRails, JSF to some extent, etc). So if the code being
created by the drag and drop tooling is only good for proof of concepts
and
not real-world apps, then why not go with something (i.e. Java/RPG) that
can
run on a solid OS like "IBM i" (my first use of that on the forums, boy
that
felt weird :-)

Maybe you should ask yourself this question: Are you using ASP.NET in your
iSeries shop because that is what you know, or is it because it is the
best
solution for your business based on thorough evaluation of other
solutions?
I find it all to enticing to move to Microsoft because it is easy in the
beginning - not many shops plan ten years out anymore which is too bad.

Server, Visual Studio, Expression, Blend, Ajax Toolkit etc being a key
point.

I don't see the need to migrate all of these over to the iSeries (and I
should imagine that this is not likely to ever happen) but native
hosting
of
the .NET framework would be an advantage IMHO

My main reason for this post was to provide a thread for people to ask
and
discuss technical questions about ASP.NET and the iSeries. I am fully
aware
that the list is comprehensive in other areas.

A versus B is not an opinion, it is a comparison.

Why are you only interested in using ASP.NET *with* the iSeries versus
*on*
the iSeries?

Don't let past threads kill currently solid potentials.

Let me re-iterate, we are not asking for opinions of A versus B in
this
thread. We are interested in using ASP.NET with the iSeries.

It would be interesting to see if ASP.NET performed better/worse/same
as
JSP
on the iSeries. Richard has written some articles/sessions showing
how
to
run your ASP.NET natively under a Java app server. I am not sure if
it
is
an open source community effort (i.e. converter tool), but if you
could
run
ASP.NET in Tomcat on the iSeries I would consider that a huge benefit
over
running it in IIS on Windows.

Just some thoughts,

Hi Everyone

I would like to start a new thread specifically for users of
ASP.NETand
the
iSeries, System i5 and IBM i...

Are you interested? If so please reply and lets start talking, if
not
we'll
clear off somewhere else ;-)

P.S. Please note the subject of this thread, so no unnecessary
posts
please!

Kind Regards

And whatever you guys do, make sure you get the RJS folks involved.
I
think Richard's already forgotten more about .Net/i integration than
I
know.
