RE: Web apps on the AS/400

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do use a driver program, Ken, so that I can plug in whatever queueing
mechanism I may need.  I've never had a single problem with data queues in
all the time I've worked with them - but that's probably because I don't use
them for high-load situations, I use them to pass messages.
