RE: Create Graphical interface

X-Windows works over a network, but it is not scalable to hundreds of users because of technical reasons (it's architecture is not scalable). Also, unix is not like the as/400, and having one program (job/process) running for each interactive user is not a good idea in a unix environment. For unix type servers a client/server approach is best for scalability. And X-Windows is difficult to program for because the underlying base libraries are quite old (25 years).

So IMHO X-Windows is only useful on the as/400 (PASE) if you have to run an existing unix utility or program which happens to use X-Windows.

Luis,

Unless you have to use a web interface, you have to develop a Java GUI application (using Swing or something like that) that runs on a PC, and connects to the iSeries.

There is a third possibility if I have understood the documentation
correctly, namely running an X11 server on the PC and connecting it to
the iSeries where the java program runs.

This is the same way that it is normally done under Unix, but as I
wrote, I have not tested it yet :)
