Re: EGL

EGL has never had an RPG side to it - it has an interesting history, back to
Cross Platform Application from the 90s, I think. The developerworks site has
lots more. It also has stuff on calling CL and RPG from EGL apps. And now the
iSeries people are going to be involved more intimately, from what I gathered
at COMMON, so who knows what we'll be getting?

I'm just getting exposed to it more - it does intrigue me, especially because
it does a nice job of generating web pages with a nice paletter of widgets, and
it supposedly can easily consume web services - one of our recent products is
all web services, and this might be a good tool for customers to tailor their
own interface to the product.

subject: [WDSCI-L] More on EGL - a new name

IBM Rational has another new name - EGL is now called Rational Business
Developer Extension. This just makes it harder for us to know where to
find it - heh!

Business partners who have the Software Access Catalog option can
download the eAssembly there - there are 2, a trial and a full (I
assume) version. You won't find version 7 under the old name.

More info on EGL can be found at developerworks at

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/egl/

I was intrigued by the possibilities this product gives our customers.
See what y'all think.

I scanned through the link and looked at the example. I was impressed
by the dearth of references to RPG (sarcasm). It looks like (at first
glance) that it is geared towards WEB enabled programs. Did I miss
something? Between this and PHP what is happening to RPG?
