Re: Websphere

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Websphere itself isn't a modernizing tool or server.  Well, let me back 
up.  Websphere is a IBM product "branding" that covers many of IBM's web 
servers and development tools.  If you were specifically looking a tool 
that would help develop "modernized" applications, then Websphere 
Development Studio Client would be something you could look into.  
Specifically, the Websphere Web facing or HATS tools would help develop 
Web  based application from your existing RPG applications.  Beyond 
that, Websphere might be the application server you might deploy those 
modernized applications to.

Have them search for Web Facing or HATS (two different technologies) 
within the IBM web site.  That should get them started.  IBM has many, 
many links to that information.
