Hello All,
I would like to hear input on the best way to do an MVC style of
patterning with RPG business logic where the business layer is entirely
separate from the client whether it be another green screen app, a web
app or a client side application done in VB.Net.
Looking to build RPG based business logic that can return resultsets and
be used by other RPG programs, Java, .Net or PHP client apps.
Basically the idea is to have one business object that can be used by
any of the layers.
If this was just a simple program call with passing parms, then having a
callable program exposed as a stored procedure seems reasonable.
Where it gets more interesting is with resultsets as they are not easily
consumed from another RPG program.
As a similar point of reference on the Windows side of the fence we have
built a business object that can read/write data via SQL or record level
as well as call programs and this code can be used from any Windows
based application. This is an example where we've built a standardized
API that can be used from any Windows based language.
I suppose exchanging XML or JSON resultsets might be one way to do it as
we're looking at using jQuery or ExtJS based UI's
Any input or thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
