Re: Web facing/modernization options

Yep - the OP said he wanted to modernize exhausting 5250 so I limited the list to OA vendors.

Lansa have a “screen scraper” type technology as well as Long range and their Lansa for the Web offerings. The latter two however are for development of new web interfaces. I decided not to list those vendors involved mainly in the “build new” marketplace because there are just too many. Some (like CNX) are mentioned in the Redpiece but others (like MRC) were not for some reason. I know all vendors had the opportunity to submit articles on their products for inclusion - baffled as to why they would not avail themselves but …

Then of course there are the free tools like CGIDEV2, powerExt, Renaissance, and not to forget PHP and all the tools available in that universe. Oh wait - I forgot the latest player Ruby. Then there’s options like Python and on and on.

See why I limited the list <grin>

There is a companion Redpaper to the modernization Redbook - this has
information from the several vendors at the time of publication, I assume.

Nice little resource. This paper includes all the ones Jon mentioned,
plus a few more. Jon may have been limiting himself to vendors using
Open Access. Notably, he left off Lansa, which seems to be a major
sponsor/participant at COMMON. (At least, at the free virtual Web
events, it always seems to be Profound Logic and Lansa.)

I don't have experience with any of those vendors/products, though.
