Re: 5250 to Web Interface / Application Modernization

Apache on IBM i works great, adding an extra server in between gives no
benefit.

Using a tool like CGIDEV2 you isolate the program logic from the
presentation, a web designer can do the "pretty thing" without any
knowledge of RPG and you can do the logic in RPG whit just a very basic
knowledge of HTML .

The handwriting is on the wall. Make your IBM i a behind-the-firewall Db2
black box that serves up data requests via Node.js or something to a
