RE: Java vs VisualAge RPG

Actually, if you are going to look at VARPG, you need to look at ASNA
Visual RPG, or AVR. It has been doing very well, and when I first
started messing around with it, it blew VARPG away....

The main issue is political in my opinion.

VARPG, regardless of its merits, has never gained traction.  So,
regardless of its value it is a solution that will no doubt follow OS/2
onto the list of great solutions that didn't make it.

However, I always though that if you're going to go thru the trouble 
of convert green screen app to gui, you might as well go with the 
method that can serve both internal and external customer ==> using 
web browser as client.  The most common programming tool (in AS400 
would), I would guess, would be java+jsp+rpg.

I posted a similar thread in Java400, but thought I'd ask here as

well. 

Has anyone here ever evaluated Java vs VisualAge RPG?  Just doing a 
little investigation and was wondering if anyone here had thoughts on 
the matter.

I appreciate your input,
