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.

Thanks for the link. I read through it and now have a better
understanding of what the EGL Rich Web Support has to offer. It looks
really interesting from a rich UI perspective. Is this IBMs answer to
Flex and Silverlight? Also, is there a resource to find more info on
the other aspect of EGL that exposes the RPG progs as services to be
consumed? Does EGL support on the back-end require Websphere?
Ooops.... should have answered this.
EGL RWS is a different concept than Silverlight or Dojo or GWT - because
in the long run EGL can embrace all of those. EGL can theoretically
generate anything it needs to, whether it's Dojo code in JavaScript or
business logic in COBOL. It's also built to allow you to extend it,
either with your own Java classes on the server side or with JavaScript
on the client.
It's pretty amazing what can be done.
You can find more EGL information than you can shake a stick at over on
Jon Sayles' site, but to be honest, calling an RPG program from EGL is a
single CALL opcode. Exposing it as a web service is simply wrapping it
in an function and in a Service part and then telling EGL to generate
the WSDL.
And no, EGL does not require WebSphere.
