Re: Where's the Program Call Bean Wizard in RDP or RAD or RBD?

Dude. Are you saying I'm whinging? When is the last time I said anything remotely negative about the tools? I'm the biggest advocate the Rational tools have. Feel free to check the archives. Or blog posts. Or articles. Or books I've written, fer goshsakes! If you're looking for someone who bashes the Rational tools, it ain't me!

Cripes. I spend years evangelizing for these tools, and then I question one thing about the tool and suddenly you're slapping me down worse than Karl Rove trash-talking Christine O'Donnell <grin>.

Ah Joe, you always make me hesitate to answer people's questions here...

For the program call bean wizard's dependencies I can only guess since I have not worked on any of that code directly . However since the wizard is available when I have RBD in the same package group as RDp and it is not available when I have only RDp and also that the wizard has some Web service capabilities I can only assume that the Web stuff is where the dependencies on RAD are.

If you really do feel strongly about this then I would suggest that whinging about it here is unlikely to change things. Opening an RFE to request a change in the product or maybe even a PMR if you think it is a defect (though I don't think it is) might go further...

Not to pick nits, Mike, but why does it rely on web tools? Calling an RPG program from Java doesn't have anything to do with the web. The Program Call wizard was available in the Java perspective.

Hi Nancy,

The program call bean relies on the Web tools provided by RAD. If you have RDp and RAD (or RBD) in the same package group it is available. Go

to File->New->Other... expand "IBM i", Expand Java and you will find it

there.

When I had WDSC I could create a Program Call Bean in a Dynamic web project by doing New> Other> iSeries> Java> Program Call Bean. Under iSeries was Java, Local and Remote. In RDP the iSeries is gone, but I have IBM i. IBM i only has Local and Remote. Where did the Java

Program

Call Bean wizard go?
