RE: Alternate Platform for RPG

["Stephane Leon" <s.leon@xxxxxxx>]

I made a web interface (between banking database and web server for order
management).
using the 2 two ways.
1 - Tomcat, sql, data queue, client access server, api etc...
2 - Rpg and socket

And every body's testing the 2 tell me if i am serious, with
java version.
I used a simple spool --> html converter in java and
another using native api.
I see the difference again.

Its just to me a performance question in my humble opinion.
