We have a web application which traditionally runs on a separate Windows
box next to the customers AS/400 (but which runs nicely on Linux, that's
not the issue).
I am considering whether we could have a hosted solution instead, and
was looking at the Google App Engine which would be very nice for
deploying such a web application. The interesting issue is that we need
a pipe to the AS/400 from the web application, and GAE only allows
connections to other computers through http and https.
There is a Proxy functionality (for mobile units) in jt400 which most
likely could be leveraged over a compressed http tunnel, and some
firewall issues but all that most likely just requires some elbow grease.
I was wondering if anybody has already done this, and had some battle
experiences to share?
