There is no "requirement" to purchase RAD to perform J2EE development.
You can install the Eclipse Web Tools project plug-ins into your RDi
workbench.
If you are using Websphere 6.1 or later, you still are not required to
purchase RAD
WAS 7.0 includes with it an Eclipse (Rational Application Developer Toolkit
for Websphere 7.5, which is NOT Rational Application Developer for WebSphere
7.5) that can be installed into the RDi workbench that gives you all of the
WAS 6.1 and 7.0 goodies... and then you install the Eclipse Web Tools
project into your RDi workbench.
This is INCLUDED with V6R1.
Tada... you have a full J2EE development workbench with all of the WAS 6.1
and 7.0 stuff like publishing and debugging that is not included in the
default Eclipse distributions.
It is practically as complete as RAD 7.5 without ANY ADDITIONAL Licensing
costs.
This is confusing as all get out... but there you are.

So... There is no full replacement of WDSC7.0? I'll need to purchase
RAD7.5 + Rdi?

Neither, I think. As I recall, for J2EE development, you now must
purchase RAD 7.5... I think Rdi-SOA includes some bits and pieces, but
not full tooling for J2EE.

I'm currently using WDSC7.0 to develope both RPG and J2EE type
applications.
Does any one know if I can do the same in rdi or do I need to rdi SOA?
