Current system is RPGLE, including cgi and the Apache web server.

Database design is "old". No flat files or multi-member stuff - not that
old..

Management wants to have an android/iOs app to submit orders (with proper
editing),

plus inquiry. No rewrite of the system to do this, just an add on.

I'm not familiar with Android type apps but would guess web services ?

This will not be heavy traffic, maybe 15 orders per hour, 20 inquiry..

My question is whether (without needing big software) web services is to
normal way to go?

Authentication is also important - current web serving is a user/pwd .

V7R3..
