So now I have both ends of the problem. Its the middle I do not have.
Currently, the version that runs on the iSeries web server has the data
in the IFS, and I can refresh that data from a web page whenever I ask.

However I can not get the data directly from the iSeries library, which

is, to my mind, the crux of the matter.

Basically, what you need is the ability to invoke an iSeries
program from a web page. Thus, a URL needs to be translated into a
reference to an iSeries program. So, in your HTTPD config file you need
to define at least one ScriptAlias that will interpret a URN and provide
an iSeries QSYS.LIB path to your iSeries program. The iSeries program, of
course, will automatically have access to the iSeries DB2 local database.
