Re: New System Development

Shailesh,
    We made this same decision about a month ago. We chose CGI because of
the time frame. I have not programmed in JAVA before and all of the articles
I have read said there is a steep learning curve. We did not have the time
to learn a new language. Our company went from "What is CGI?" is to
displaying our item master page on the net in about 2 weeks! If you know
RPGLE, you can write a CGI Program. The UI, David was talking about might be
good also, I have not uses it.

Dear All,

I am going to develop a new application on the AS400 v5r1. I want to keep my
business logic completely in RPGLE using DB2/400 as the database. My problem
is that I need browser based screens and I am not able to decide whether I
should use Java or CGI to handle browser requests.

I would really appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions with
regards to what I should use. If there are options besides Java and CGI
which could be used I am willing to give it a shot.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Shailesh D. Nair.
