Is anyone doing this? - YES AND MANY HAVE BEEN FOR
YEARS. The redbook Unleashing AS400 Applications on the
Internet came out in 1997 and Cool Title About the AS/400
and the Internet in 1996. If only more of us (including me)
had woken up then! But it is never too late.
In addition to the e-RPG book, Lansa tools, Java/RPG (or maybe
call it "j-RPG" <grin>, and the easy400 site,  there are other tool oriented
approaches.Currently using (not selling) WebSmart
 http://www.excelsystems.com/ where all the development is Windows
based, and generates the RPG cgi programs and the html required.
Very fast. There are other tools available, try Search400 or similar. Many
like
the Net.Data approach (free on every 400 and Ibm has a Net.Data home
page and good info at www.ignite400.com ).
