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.

Ouch... I do hope that WDSC will go on working...
Just imagine : when (if ?) I upgrade to RDI, I'll have to use Eclipse for
java development = 2 softwares instead of 1,
and if half my customers need WDSC and the other half RDI = 3 softwares
instead of 1 ?
One step forward, two steps backward,...
nonononono, that's only a bad dream,
wake-up, wake-up, wake-up,........
When WDSC was released, IBM had not yet perfected bundling separate
components and so basically WDSC had RDi built on top of the top of the
line Java EE tool, RWD/RAD. IBM gave it away to iSeries developers
(note the terminoology) as part of the bundled price of 5722WDS, but
that was about to end.
With i 6.1, all components are separately bundled. With the
announcement of the new RDi-SOA for Java, there are now four editing
tool bundles. You can get:
ADTS - SEU, SDA and PDM
RDi - just the green screen tools
RDi-SOA for EGL - green screen tools and EGL
RDi-SOA for Java - green screen tools and Java EE
Different products with different prices depending on how much
functionality you want in the bundle. My only question today is whether
or not RDi-SOA for Java includes EGL; I don't have the answer for that.
I think IBM's position is that you don't need both.
If you want cheap web development, use MyEclipse and RDi.
If you want fast web development, use RDi-SOA for EGL.
If you want integrated IBM tooling for full-blown Java EE development,
use RDi-SOA for Java.
It's your choice.
