BTW Scott's latest distribution of YAJL is made for V6R1M0 :-(

I'm just trying to compile it down to V5R4

Hi Booth

I feel you would get a bit of benefit out of forgetting the IBM i side of
things temporarily and go about building a web server, web page etc in any
of the flavours you can manage it on a PC. Just get a book that tells you
how to build a test LAMP stack on your PC (or RoR or... or whatever floats
your boat really) and try learning the terminology and pieces without
trying to fit them back into your RPG scenario.

When you feel like you are on top of what's gogin on and all the pieces you
will be able to come back to the RPG/IBM i side of things and it should
make more sense how it fits together. If nothing else you will have a fun
detour where you will learn some stuff.

Bradley,

the problem with clean YAJL is preprocessing of parameters and input in
JSON - that isn't exactly an easy
task.

Why not "spit out" JSON using YAJL then to standard output and let the
web
programmers process/format it.

But walk before you can run. :)

Yes. Actually, I had your book and it helped me. Thank you. It
disappeared in one upheaval or another.

The issue, for me, is that I want to approach the data from the web
developer's side. Use a web developer's tool set, not an IBM
programmer's
tool set. I am suspicious that what I want is a way to provide the
data
as
a web service? Not sure of the terminology ... I believe I want to
"consume a web service"? At this point I am over my head so I
suspect
my
terminology is bad.

In other words, I want to be able to say to an RPG programmer "You
provide
the data this way:" and to the web dudes & dudettes "Here is the data
you
requested, ready to use:"

Are you asking how to write an RPG program that reads from a DB and
spits
out the information on the web page?

If so, I wrote a few books about that a few years ago... eRPG was
the
title. :)

Now I'd prefer to use CGIDEV2 or eRPG SDK. But the basis is still
the
same.

Your subfile program that exists now is easily converted into a CGI
program
to spit that data out to a web page. I have tons of examples at:
http://erpgsdk.bvstools.com/demo/

Also, www.fieldexit.com has a ton of examples too. They do all
sorts
of
things from reading from a DB, to using web services to get
information.

CGIDEV2 I'm sure has a lot of examples as well.
