Jeff,

I would imagine that most "wireless handhelds" would offer a browser application. Using EGL, you could create a web UI, and deploy this application in a web server. I'm sure there would be some limitations in UI functionality, depending on the browser offered on the device.

Subject: [EGL-i] EGL for wireless handheld


Don't laugh at this question. It will demonstrate ignorance on my part. :)

I'm in the very early stages of some warehouse automation. Looking at
access points and handheld computers.

If we had wireless handhelds with 5250 emulation, I *could* write RPG
code to drive whatever applications I would choose to write. But
suppose I want to take another route. EGL generates either COBOL or
Java. I have no Java knowledge whatsoever. Could RDI SOA be used to
generate Java which is then run by the handheld and therefore have a
richer interface than 5250 emulation? With DB2 on System i record level
access? And this would be a lot easier and faster to learn for a lone
wolf like me?

Thanks.
