Yup, that's good old Movex.  I knew some of the folks there, at least back
in the original move to Java.  It's a decent implementation, from what I
understand.  There's also SAP, Oracle 11i and Baan, but I've heard horror
stories about implementing each of them.  My impression has been that J2EE
implementation aren't making nearly the inroads that were originally
expected.

But who knows, maybe the world is moving to J2EE implementations and I don't
know it.  I'd love to hear about it.  Because unlike the OS/400 vs. Wintel
discussion, J2EE vs. RPG is a valid discussion for this list, because it
directly impacts the use of Java on the iSeries.
