Are you suggesting I'm advocating using WebSphere and Net.Data
just so we can squeeze more money out of our customers?  I'm
insulted!

Fact is that WebSphere Application Server Standard version has
been included as part of the AS/400 since V4R3.  With that you
can already do a lot, including Java Servlets, JSP's, and
calling RPG programs.

(If you do want to spend more money, WAS Advanced version also
gives you Enterprise JavaBean support.)

Cheers!  Hans
