Tony,

We've been running an AS/400 based webs ever available to the public since late 
1998. If it will be a publicly available site, you'll want to have it on either 
a separate partition or on it's own box (some of the new 5xx series boxes are 
priced pretty nicely for this). If you're on V5R2 or V5R1, don't bother with 
the Original HTTP server. It goes away in V5R3 and the Apache based server is 
much better.

As far as books are concerned, I did a bunch of my learning from IBM's Web 
Programming and Web Administration books (both of which stink) since there 
really were not that many resources available when I started.

Brad Stone has written a couple of books that cover this. Check out his website 
at http://www.bvstools.com/erpg.

There are a few RedBooks that cover this.

There is also the Easy/400 website at http://www-922.ibm.com/.

Matt

Subject: Using RPGIV to build web apps


This topic is two-fold.  

First of all, we have our iSeries web server turned off, for security
reasons.  I am attempting to convince management that we should turn
it on, and block access via the firewall (actually it's already
blocked -- we're paranoid of thE HIPAA beast).  I know that there are
some web sites out there that use the iSeries as a web server, and
serve applets up using RPGIV.  I wonder if you guys know of any links
I might add to my presentation to management, to strengthen my
proposal.  I know that I can build some kick-butt reporting apps that
are serve-able via the web to our users, but with no web-server,
static pages sent to our IIS box are all I can do.

Second, I need to start backing up my boastful claims.  I have
attended two RPG Worlds, but avoided the web programming sessions for
the reason above.  Do you know of any resources or any good starting
point books on serving up web apps using RPGIV?

Thank you in advance!
