This reminds me, isn't there a new product called "RPG Server Pages"?

Cool, so I can put Java down on my resume?  ;)

There is so much to learn and I'm not using this 'for real' anywhere so that 
makes it even tougher.  But that's cool to know that with a few extra steps it 
can be that much more.  Thanks Joe.

Which means you're in effect building JavaServer Pages, which are nothing
more than HTML and some data filled in from a JavaBean.  The only thing you
need to do now is to write a servlet to call your RPG logic, put the data
into a JavaBean and invoke the JSP!
