Re: 5250 to Web Interface / Application Modernization

Presentation is a two part job, one is the choice of colors, fonts,
size. distribution, etc. that CGIDEV2 does isolate, the second is the
"behavior" that will be part in the RPG (Integrated)   and part  in
JavaScript (isolated).  

Also, sometimes using RPG I will generate a complete JavaScript program,
but that is a different story.

Call me an purist, but I wouldn't say that CGIDEV2 isolates the logic from the presentation. The standard M.O. is for the RPG code to set values in the display and write records (basically exactly like RPG & DDS screens). I'd call that tightly coupling your logic and your UI.

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 .
