Hi people...

couple of days ago i had posted a question regarding how to call a RPG 
program...

the response has really helped me..
as suggested  i implemented the servlet method and it is is working fine...
i anticipate some performance issues..but i guess i will wait till they 
arise..hehe

By the way..i have use the Java Web server(eval copy)

does anybody have a clue as to how to serve servlets from Microsoft IIS...i 
have IIS
4.0...

thanks once again...

regards

Ketan
