Just noticed something else on this switch. RDi SOA, at a mere $2,000 per seat cost (still too much) or 1/2 that of the RDA product includes EGL which IBM is pushing for web development. Maybe this is IBMs way of saying "drop that java idea, we were wrong, you should now develop using EGL instead and only use java if you need J2EE"

EGL generates Java (and optionally COBOL). IBM thinks Java is very much the answer, but that the Java language may be too complicated for business programming (something I happen to agree with). EGL allows you to take advantage of the portability and OO nature of Java while programming in a procedural language.

In addition, EGL is specially designed to work with and take advantage of the performance of the System i.

That is in fact the session I'll be doing with George Farr at RSDC in June. We'll be showing how EGL is designed to take advantage of the System i, and how its integration with ILE makes RDi-SOA a really productive environment.
