The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I am not familiar with the technology but it looks like the base RCP
container creates the controls on the fly as well. There is a base
application that starts up and my assumption is that all the controls
are represented in that base container. As the 5250 data is parsed in
the container, it creates and places the objects on the form. Probably
a tougher job with a fat client but since the local PC is doing the
heavy lifting, the response time is fairly fast.
I haven't developed much using Swing or SWT but the drawing and the
instantiation of the controls in the frame based on 5250 data wouldn't
be all that different than HTML. Since it is handled by the base RCP
client on the PC it can be fast. But, I haven't really explored the
internals and haven't written many Java apps using Swing or SWT.

Re: RCP & HATS
How exactly does that work? I know that the http version of HATS
converts the 5250 screens to a web page on the fly but how does the RCP
version work?
