I just got done writing an article for SystemiNetwork that does what you are
looking to do. I was tasked with re-vitalizing existing RPG applications
with a desktop application. Being that I know Java better than .NET I wrote
the GUI app with Java and connected back to the System i5 with SQL Stored
Procedures, XML Web Services, and ServiceProgramCall's (IBM Java Toolbox).
All three have their pluses and minuses and all three were pretty fast.
I believe the article prints in Sept if you want to check it out. All the
Java code can be downloaded.
HTH,

subject: SQL, Stored Proc, Other - whats best to use getting data from
iseries
Hello,
I am working on a new app that I would like to make GUI. My thoughts were
using a Java Gui, but not sure how I want to handle getting data from and to
the iseries. I've read on using SQL, back end RPG stored procedure, Stored
proces using Data queues, etc.
Seems to be lots of options. Just would like feedback on some you all have
tried and pro/cons of each.
Thanks.
