Rick,

In my mind, the portability part relates to where the client resides.
You can run the same code on a wintel, mac, spark or hp workstation. It
runs (pretty much) identically. All are talking to the same server
though. I don't think a JVM on the AS/400 is a show maker or breaker.
You can write a server using any language you like. It will only need to
run on one platform.
