I'm serious, buy my book. I don't often actually come out and hawk my stuff like this, but you need a jump start, and WDSC: Step by Step is exactly what you need. > Your statement explaining the benefits of WebSphere have nothing to > do with WebSphere; Oh, you want CGI vs. JSP. That's a no-brainer. JSPs have a number of benefits over CGI, from scalability to performance to separation of UI and business logic. For example, you can easily change the UI without touching your programs. Yes, you can do that to some degree with CGI, but whereas with CGI the templates have to be reinterpreted over and over again, with JSP the page is converted to a Java class which is then compiled into bytecode by the JSP processor and then eventually compiled into machine code by the JIT compiler of the JVM. Not to mention the fact that you can move your UI processing off of your iSeries, for performance or security. You have a lot more flexibility when your UI is in Java. Plus you have any number of support packages easily available for things like URL encoding (making those funny #3F thingies in your URL) and HTML encoding (making those funny &-thingies in your HTML).
