Re: WebSmart anyone? -- WEB400

Hey Luis;

I have tried to use WebSmart - but only for some test applications. Theproblem is that WebSmart has its own language that wraps the RPG.

So if you want to continue with RPG you might have a look at IceBreak athttp://www.icebreak.info which is a webserver / application server runningnative on the iSeries that makes RPG an .ASP language - just like Microsofthas VisualBasic running inside theire IIS server.


Best regards

Luis,

We looked into this several years ago and decided against it because
we wanted to keep our RPG programs off of our webserver 400 and
running on our production 400.  Otherwise, this would have been
promising.

We recently looked into the JSE version of WebSmart as a way to learn
Java, but we didn't like the servlets it wrote.  One of my Java kids
has written a bunch of helper classes to abstract things like SQL
queries and RPG/CL program calls to a level that old Net.Data guys
like me can actually write servlets/jsp's that do something.

We use BCD's ProGen system for green-screen apps, and it's a quality
product.  So I'd imagine that WebSmart is as well.

Hi all,

Has anyone used BCD's WebSmart product? A colleague of mine is
evaluating iSeries Web Dev. Tools and has asked me to do some research
for him.
Does it need a run-time component in each server to be run? Any ideas
about the cost?
Thanks for your help. If you prefer, you can contact me off-list at:
