Great articles.

You mentions CGIDEV2 as an alternative to write the REST service and I'm
not saying that it can't be done, but it has no "native" JSON support such
as
node and data encoding support.

There is however two other FREE utilities:

JSON Utilities by Mihael Schmidt

or

powerEXT Core (that is build on top of CGIDEV2 by me:

http://powerext.com


An important thing is that JSON only supports UTF-8 so
any character greater that ASCII x'7F' has to be properly
encoded.

Apache runs default with CCSID 819 and will need a
server directive such as

# UTF-8
DefaultNetCCSID 1208

to translate EBCDIC to UTF-8

In November and December, IBM Systems Magazine graciously posted a
series of articles I've written on developing Android applications that
work with the IBM i. Tami Deedrick edited the series, and here';s her
blog post on the articles.

This is a soup to nuts series, starting with how to download and install
the tools and ending with a complete working application that linked any
Android phone with business logic written in RPG. It's small, simple
and easy to understand and I hope you get a chance to take a look at it.

For your New Year's Resolution, how about writing an Android app?

Happy New Year, everyone!

Joe
