Yep. The "package" or "assembly" would be modular so the web service portion would be written separately so this module could be implemented right into a .NET app without having to make an HTTP request, but if you didn't have .NET, or needed to call if from a different language, it would be available as a web service also. Does that make more sense? Just a side note. I am very interested to see how Java works in WDSc, I just didn't have time to learn the in's and outs, didn't make sense to me, and it didn't seem flexible. For instance, in Forte (Sun ONE Studio) I create a Java project and add members from directories from where ever they might exist. Works slick. In WDSc I create a project, and it is prompting me for a directory "Project Contents" directory. Now does that mean it is looking for the base of my namespace class (c:\java) or the actual place where my code will reside (c:\java\com\phoenix\mail)? And in WDSc it seems that I have to create an "alias" folder for it to see something on my windows machine. When I am creating the Java project I am brought to the "Java Settings" window in the "Source" tab. I select "Use source folders contained in the project" because that makes the "Add existing folders" button available. I am thinking "great, now I will just go and bring in c:\java\com\phoenix\mail and any other areas that I might want in this project", but that isn't the case. When I click on "Add existing folder" I get a blank window stating that "No entries available". Still scratching my head on that one. So now my project is created (without any references to my source, and I still don't know how I am going to get it in there). In the 'Help' it says to go to File->New->Package, so I think "oh good, I can now add my c:\java\com\phoenix\mail directory". In the "Add new package" window I select the "Browse" button because I want to bring in c:\java\com\phoenix\mail, but nooo, once again this next window only contains "alias folders" that I have created in other failed attempts at creating what should be a simple Java project. Anyways, that is about as far as I got in WDSc with Java. I should note that I eventually just went through RSE and edited my Java code, but it wasn't organized in an easy to use project like in Sun ONE Studio so I just went back to Sun ONE. I haven't done much java coding in WDSc 5.0 but the editor does look like it is catchin up to Sun ONE. I think in version 4.0 it didn't allow you to have different colors and a whole bunch of other stuff, but just looking through it now, it looks as though that is there now. On another point, I am trying to learn Struts. I have a theoretical view of what they are, but I have seen zero documents that give example of how you would actually code with Struts in mind. Every article I have read (one most recently in one of the iSeries mags) has left me with more questions than answers. Hey its great if Java has these cool technologies that "make it a robust" platform for developing code, but sometimes I feel that the bit twiddlers of the world never come down to the level of the programmers of this world that write business software for a living to tell us how to adequately use the tools. Just go to jakarta.apache.org and look at the list of technologies waiting to confuse the average Java programmer out of their mind. I have also been trying to learn Ant, but haven't been successful. That is where .NET looks so appealing. It integrates everything so tightly together (because it is all owned by them) and makes it much easier to use. Now I don't if concepts like Ant and Struts are in .NET yet, but from the little I have done with .NET I have been blown away. IMO, the WDSc team should learn to use Visual Studio and get some free ideas on the little things that make a huge difference. I am pretty sure I have seen articles showing that is exactly what M$ does when they go to market against their competitors. For instance the IE developers used Netscape on a daily basis to find the things they liked disliked and made a better product from (some will debate this, but I don't). Anyways, if somebody can tell me where I might be missing the boat that would be great. It might be that I am just stupid:-) Aaron Bartell -----Original Message----- From: Mark Phippard [mailto:MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 8:48 AM To: Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Subject: RE: [WDSCI-L] Getting to the bones with Java and .NET was-> RE:RE : WDSC and Linux So you would make it a web service so that various apps in your shop could use it easier?

Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just do not want you to spend a day learning how to create a web service, and then smack yourself in the forehead at the end of the day.
