RE: Perfect Match - Java and RPG and User Spaces?

<Mark>
Wouldn't something like a *DTAQ or possibly even something "heavier" like 
MQSeries be a better choice than a *USRSPC?  The *USRSPC is a great way to 
pass the data efficiently, but it seems like it forces you to handle all 
of the "queuing" aspects that would be needed to deal with high-volume and 
that you get for "free" by using a queueing delivery system.

I will take a look into MQSeries.  I have to distribute this to around 20 -
30 iSeries machines so cost may put that idea in the grave.  I have actually
already built the dynamic call functionality that I described, so I will
probably just go that route.  It isn't much, but it is exactly what I need.

Also, have you considered driving it more from Java?  In other words let 
it parse the XML and make all of the decisions and just call the 
appropriate RPG programs directly to process the transactions?
</Mark>

I will be calling the RPG program directly and I will tell it which User
Space to look for the data in.  I am guessing you are saying to just pass
the data as a parm to the RPG program??  I have thought of this, but there
are going to be many times where my data could exceed 65,535 bytes (i.e.
large PO) and for sure I would hit up against the 7 parm max of PCML.  The
User Space is nice because there is only ever one version of the data in
memory or on disk.  If I sent it the other way I am not so sure that would
be the case (I will have to look into PCML a little more to verify this).
