You have to do it in some language. If you want to get your applications off 5250, Java is a valid option. I would do new development in Java or PHP depending on the skill sets, and available infrastructure.

I have seen Java run on IBM i very effectively. It's not a bad solution.

Since I can't remember the last time I saw IBM promoting Java, what would
you folks say to developers who want to replace a green screen application
with code written in Java.

(You'd be dumbfounded by the memory and disk spikes caused by their index
building.)
