Re: Different approaches to expose RPG program outside of ibmi

Or potentially higher costs for software over and above IBM i.

Not to mention putting another vendor in the mix for the finger pointing exercise.

IBM i with stored procedures exposed to the view using HTML.

Too easy.

If I can do it anyone can.

Agreed. Even if .NET is currently your intended audience, the first option
provides better flexibility for the future without requiring much extra
effort.

Wide question with obviously a lot of options and lot of context and
solution area, but being precisely so wide, let's stick to the two options
given, assuming you are talking about JSON over HTTP RPC style API.....

I'll pick the first, less moving parts, efficient, easier to debug, and
pretty performant if Apache straight to RPG. And - if one so desire - there
are native third party products for IBMi that offer the whole stack and
related orthogonal services (security, accounting, monitoring...).

The second doesn't add any visible value to me, the cost of such
dependency is much higher than the value given.
