I don't agree Joe. Given that Aaron sells his tool set, it's as commercially available as EGL.

That's cool. See my earlier post to Nathan. I promised not to talk about that anymore.

The big question I have if I've got an existing RPG process that needs the data from the web page, can
I invoke the EGL code you've posted somehow?

I already know I could use Aaron's.

I also know that EGL can call RPG.

But can RPG call EGL?

Well, it depends. If it's EGL running in the browser, obviously no. If it's EGL running as a web application, you can access it the same way you would access any web application, using sockets or data queues. EGL also generates Java; you can call that as you would any other Java program. However, for pure batch processing of RPG accessing web pages, I'd probably go with CGIDEV2 or a commercial RPG-based product like Aaron's.

If you want more discussion on specifics, probably best to take it to the EGL list.
