Re: Anyone using any HTML5 solutions

Paul,

I should note some relevant distinctions between "HTML5 solutions", and
"screen scrapers". It sounds like you're more interested in the latter,
than the former.

All the screen scrapers that Vern indicated in his message rely on a
Windows, Java, or JavaScript "clients" which are either installed on a
device, or downloaded from the server when the interface is instantiated.
Thereafter, most (if not all) I/O between the client and the server are
based on proprietary protocols pertaining to each product. Each of the
protocols is an extension of IBM's display file interface.

HTML5, however is a standards based specification which has been adopted by
leading web browsers, which includes extensions and additions from earlier
HTML specifications.

HTML 5 applications tend to more fully utilize the capabilities of the
browser, including managing "state" on the client, which is a very relevant
distinction from the traditional display-file interface, where state is
managed on the server.

Many other relevant distinctions come into play when comparing HTML5
applications to screen-scrapers.

HTH,

Nathan.

Anyone using any HTML5 solutions.
I know Rocket has a product.
It would be nice, nothing on the PC to manage.
We're also evaluating Rocket's Legasuite Java Client, ongoing Java issues
has many concerned with this solution.
