Re: What's the difference? WDSC vs RWD

From: DennisRootes@xxxxxxxxxxx

So am I the only one on the list who doesn't know the answer to this
question?

Sorry, Dennis, but I've answered the question so many times over the years
that I take it for granted. :)

As of version 7, the issue is this:

Eclipse + Rational J2EE stuff = RWD
RWD + iSeries extensions = WDSC

RWD + EJB = RAD
RAD + iSeries extensions = WDSC Advanced Edition

This is grossly over-simplified, but that's the gist of it. The primary
difference between Rational and WDSC is the iSeries extensions, which is
pretty much made up of the views you listed in your original post. And the
primary difference between the basic and advanced (RWD vs RAD, or WDSC vs
WDSC AE) is EJB support.

However, this changes soon. Most likely in the next release, there will be
no RWD/RAD, there will only be RAD. Similarly, there will be no more WDSC
AE, there will only be WDSC (and it will probably be called RDi).

Does that help?

Joe
