Re: RPG, open source, and the web

Joe,

I know ;-)

but anybody there is into moderne UI development on the client side uses
JSON objects as
the parameters into an OO javascript method - calling javascript in old
fasion way like

myfunction(parm1,parm2,parm3) is out - parameters is passed as JSON objects
like

myvar ={
parm1:"abc"
,parm2:"def"
,parm3:"ghi"
};
new myfunction(myvar);

Okey joe,

here is a simple number of parameters to a singe method/subprocedure in

javascript that defines a grid:

Do you wish to pass them to a subprocedure in RPGLE ?

Henrik, I was AGREEING with you.

And yes, I pass those sorts of things to RPG all the time. In EGL I
would define two records, one for the basic field information and one
for the optional renderer. EGL can then handle arrays of those things.
The same would happen in Java or JavaScript. When I call the RPG code,
I write the program to handle a single record and then call it in a
loop, once for each instance.

To summarize: I use a data structure between RPG and the web server. I
use JSON between the web server and the UI. I use XML between the web
server and an outside consumer.
