Hi Jim!
  We're looking hard at WebFacing (getting WebSphere installed is a bit of a
hang-up, but that's a local problem).  What I don't understand though, is
how WebFacing will enable me to perform extensive modifications to the Java
side separately from the RPG.

If I have an application that consists of several modal displays
(enter/validate customer, enter/validate shipping information,
enter/validate items), WebFacing makes beans and jsps that match the layout.
It has to, because that's the I/O buffer RPG is expecting.  How can I make
this into a single non-modal Java display without breaking the RPG?
