Re: 5250-to-HTML servlet?

[Kristen Henry <klhnry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, and by the way, I have created an application for the customer that is 
J2SE...  I
interact with the data through Data Access Beans and what I call Data 
Transaction Beans (I
wrapper the Transidiom class so it looks like a data bean!  Well, it IS!!)...

The new Web Application front ends JD Edwards Sales Order Entry (World) and has 
added
functionality to enable the customer to do business THEIR way.  I also created 
an
application that takes custom output from a Pitney Bowes shipping system and 
interacts with
JDE to add lines to orders, ship confirm, print shipping documents and update 
GL with the
Freight cost.

It is all without maintaining two identical sets of code, and using the legacy 
application
logic...  you can go into the Web Interface or the Green Screen and get the same
information.

The application is implemented in Struts and running on Tomcat.  I am using JDK 
1.4.

I have been doing a lot of Legacy Integration work.

Here is a presentation I gave at the Front Range IBM User Group...  I hope 
attachments work
on here.
