Re: How popular is Java on the i?

We have used it for years for some components (web access to data), and are
doing more and more with it as our other apps move into the web enabled
realm.

I know that the book that I'm reading (Inside the AS/400) is very old
(1997). It has been very interesting to get some of the i concepts down.
But I'm now in the "future speculation" in Chapter 11. On page 300, he
states: "We in the AS/400 Division are betting on Java to become our
future business programming language for object-oriented applications,
..."

So, I'm curious. Is Java popular on the i? I know that it is not a
popular as it was touted to be back in the day.
